Kelly and I had a good discussion about the half hearted, disinterested march that took place at the small boarding school she teaches at. A disruption it certainly was, as most of the children walked back in to class before half the period was out. When Kelly asked why they were back in so soon; their reply was, "it is hot out Miss." Poor Kids.
The fact is, a majority of these high schoolers are here because they can not get a decent education in the socialistic country they call home. They have no desire to stay here, no desire to become United States citizens, all they want is to get back home to Mexico City. "It is too hot up here!" They constantly whine.
Kel and I also had the opportunity to discuss the mis-interpreted truth in this mess. There is no problem with Immigrants. Here in the United States, unless you are a Native American Indian, you are in fact the descendent of an immigrant. The point is legality. The laughable point is that illegals have no rights, except the rights to be deported or jailed.
And so Kel left to go back for her afternoon classes with my suggestion to encourage the kids to stand up for what they believed. However, I also encouraged her to inform them that they better understand what they are standing up for and be able to pay the piper when it came to failing their afternoon assignments, quizzes, and tests.
