It was an assignment for history class--to make a protest sign for or against an issue, and Melanie said she chose illegal immigration. Her sign read, "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration." Somehow, Melanie said the sign got passed around lunch and angered a group of Latino students.

"I didn't know any of these people," she said. One young, she claimed, jumped on her back and he put her in a choke hold. "We have brick walls in the middle school and he slammed my face on the bricks."

Melanie said a group of boys also threatened to rape and kill her. Eventually, the boys let her go and when she went for help, she was ordered back to class, and told she could not call her parents, she said.

Aside from the obvious issues here...

How the hell does making a protest sign teach a kid anything in history class?

“It was a very racially motivated crime.”

Kudos to Mr. Bowers for stating the obvious.

The duty of all decent men, per Orwell.

Goes to show once again that the distinction between legal Hispanicization (doubleplusgood!) and illegal one (somewhat less than plusgood) exists almost exclusively in the white folks' deluded minds.

If I were in the class, I would have made a sign that said "Stop idiotic, PC history assignments".

#6 solus rex at 10:36 am on Apr 08, 2008

Hispanic racial solidarity obviously isn't interested in the white man's legalistic voodoo.

The issue is valid, but not central here.

Okay, but about the assignment I have to once again say - and CA has a problem with my homeschooling?

At least when I have my kids make protest signs we go use them.
