May 1st boycott

[MouseWife]

blueerica~I can't remember that far back but I am only going to go by what I see: I believe the people that are picked up, even questioned about their status, must be treated fairly and justly. Even in the picketing and demonstrations, things have been kept civil {from what I've seen}. I think if the demonstrators were to get out of control that the police would use extreme caution in how they reacted.

Cadaverous Pallor~I would assume here in Chula Vista, that kids kept out were more likely unable to cross the border {it was blocked by a human blockade?}than their parents keeping them home. But, you live quite far from the border. So, yes, if those parents kept the kids out, they lost a day of learning and in my opinion, a lot of them really need all of the days they can get. If they are already behind {and I said IF} because of their primary language then keeping them out only hurts them.

At our school, now that you mention it, getting to school in the morning was easier AND I didn't notice a trail of cars up to ten minutes past the time school started.....hmmm...Target was quiet and the parking lot, wow, I found a good spot.
