LOCK DOWN
Well the past few days have been pretty crazy. If you have been watching the news, you have probably heard the students out here in LA County have been protesting the immigration laws. Well, this does include my high school. Some students walked out of class with a purpose and walked the streets of Whittier and some even walked to LA to City Hall to voice their opinion. Those kids I can honestly say I am proud of. The other students that left just to get out of school and cause problems, I am ashamed of. A catholic church in the area even encouraged kids to skip school! So for the past two days our school has been in lock down. Gates closed, classroom doors locked, etc. The pic is of students from Whittier and other local high schools walking down Whittier Blvd right by my school. The news stated that the kids were mostly well behaved. Well if you consider kids running out of class, jumping out of 1st story windows, walking down major highways, vandalizing teachers cars, climbing 8ft fences and being tackled by the Whittier Police in riot gear well behaved, well maybe they'd like to run security at school!
Oh by the way, Ethan was electricuted today and made quite a scene in class. No worries it was just gag gum!

You know Liz, I actually posted about that today too. The thing that bugs me is that it's just one more example of how kids don't think they should have consequences for anything - skipping school or being an illegal immigrant.
