FOXNews.com - Los Angeles Students to Be Taught That Arizona Immigration Law Is Un-American

I have to say, as much as I oppose the Arizona law, I can't support bringing politics in the classroom. At the same time, anybody who supported the Texas Board of Education's ruling can't really say anything negative about what Los Angeles is doing. It's logical consistency. If it was OK for Texas to do it, it's OK for LA to do it.

I personally don't think it's OK for either to do it. Let's debate politics as adults and let kids develop their own political leanings instead of trying to indoctrinate them.

America as I know is on life support.

But politics in the classroom have been going on for decades. Remember how schools dealt with communism back then?

Well I was born in 88, so no I don't actually

Will the classes be taught in English or the standard Spanish?

This should lead to some lively discussion in class.

This is ludicrous; but unfortunately, not surprising. One more reminder to get your kids out of the public schools of social/political indoctrination.

I'm sure they meant to say that the Arizona law is Un-South American.

A state law that mirrors federal law is 'un-American'?
How very odd.
