Rioting is not one of the 3 R’s.
Students belong in class –– learning such basics as reading, writing and arithmetic –– not on the streets of LA, raging against immigration law enforcement.
So it’s good to see the LAPDwarn studentsto quit skipping school to form anti-ICE mobs intent on destruction.
By law, those under 18 must be in school during school hours, with few exceptions.
Instead, hundreds have cut class for three consecutive Fridays to cause mayhem in downtown LA.
The youth gone wild have assaulted agents –– hurling rocks and swinging poles –– torched US flags, and vandalized buildings. Multiple agents have been injured in the chaos.
The police are right to say,enough.
They are correct to prioritize public safety, student safety, basic sanity and civic order.
And they are wise to warn of prospective legal consequences for students, parents and others who continue to flout (or help students flout) the law.
In a city short on officers but not on crime, LAPD should not have to spend Fridays fending off hordes of violent students.
