Chikkkano Studies Gets a New Five-Year Plan

Late last month the board of the massive Los Angeles Unified School District quashed a charter school that was helping low-income students improve. At the same time they renewed the charter of an academically failing madrasssa for sixties-vintage Chicano radicalism, the racially exclusive kind that perceives "Amerikkka" as the enemy.

The school the LA board turned down is Green Dot Public Schools, which teaches about 3,000 mostly black and Hispanic students. At one Green Dot campus the achievement of African Americans rose from less than 10 percent performing at or above the proficient level in mathematics to about 40 percent in just one year. The Green Dot high school graduation rate of nearly 80 percent far outpaces other district schools.



Green Dot has a waiting list of hundreds and wants to open new campuses in Watts but the board still nixed its renewal. However, the board's anti-charter animus, fueled by union politics, did not prevent approval of another, more politically correct charter school.



Academia Semillas del Pueblo, "Seeds of the People Academy," also formulated "Academic Semillas del Pueblo Xinaxcalmecac," is one of the worst schools in the LAUSD, one of the worst districts in the state and nation. The school's backers include Berkeley alum Jackie Goldberg, former member of the LA city council, a termed-out left-wing pol who as a state Assemblywomen chaired the education committee. Semillas Del Pueblo, a K-8 school, has existed since 2002 and has a low Academic Performance Index score of 577 out of a possible 1,000. A full 93 percent of fifth graders at the Academia test below the proficient level in math. On that basis alone, the LA board should not have renewed the school's charter. There are other reasons to reject it, including the educational philosophy of founder Miguel Aguilar.



“We don’t want to drink from a white water fountain,â€

This is what you get when your city is overrun with illegal hispanics and they ,in turn, elect a racist hispanic mayor. For any doubters, they hate America, don't want to be Americans (no assimilation), and don't wish to speak English. What gags me is that NO ONE in government has the guts to do anything about it. Can you imagine the newspaper headlines if I tried to open a Ku Klux Klan school?
