LA’s schools boss has been condemned for his anti-ICE rants as more students across the city prepare to walk out of classrooms to protest against illegal immigration crackdowns.
Los Angeles Unified SuperintendentAlberto Carvalhois one of the nation’s top educators. He’s also a been a very vocal critic of federal immigration enforcement.
“Immoral, unethical and illegal,” is howhe characterizedsome of the federal government’s tactics at a press conference in September.
“A new level of despicable insult,” is how he referred to a video heshared online, which allegedly captured ICE agents urinating on school grounds in July.
Carvalho’s comments were slammed by California State Superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw. “Fewer than half of the students in Carvalho’s Los Angeles Unified School District can read or write at grade level, that’s the real crisis here,” Shaw told The California Post.
“How about, for a change, we focus on lieracy and science instead of chaos and violence?”
After three consecutive weeks of raucous, sometimes violent protestsinvolving students, the Los Angeles Police Department has asked the city’s teens to stay in class, rather than protest ICE.
Adding to the enforcement, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli has made one thing clear: his office has zero tolerance for out-of-control student protesters.
On Saturday, Essayli released pictures of two teens suspected of attacking ICE agents in Friday’s demonstration and promised to “criminally prosecute” them.
Two federal agents were also injured by rock-throwing rioters on Friday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
