WE GOT YOUR MESSAGE

For at least two days this week Latino students at area high schools jammed downtown Dallas in the City Hall area demonstrating -- what they were demonstrating against, most of them were not sure.

One thing is sure -- I did get their message.


Above seems more appropriate for a Cinco de Mayo party than a political demonstration.


The first day of their walkout from public schools the students jammed the Dallas City Hall -- bringing government to a virtual standstill.


Now here is a key point, above. The one student who has an American flag is being ridiculed by the others -- all who are waving Mexican flags.
And this immigration demonstration has to do with activities in the United States -- not Mexico.


These young men are clearly concerned about the plight of undocumented illegal immigrants from Mexico -- clearly shown by turning a decorative water fountain into a swimming hole.

As I said -- I got the message. In fact two messages.

1. God help us if this bunch ever gets to be in charge of anything.

2. All the money we are spending on public education -- we may as well flush it down the toilet in hopes we stop up the sewer system and create some new jobs for plummers.
