This is about Mr. Gochez, the LAUSD history teacher who called on YouTube for overthrow of the capitalist system and the government (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iybaDyMr1rs). My email to LAUSD was as follows:

Sedition is not free speech

Ron Gochez is in your employ. That should not remain so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGqPo5ofk0s&feature=player_embedded#! Calls to overthrow of the government are not what is going to improve LAUSD.

This is a history teacher who believes California and the entire Southwest is stolen land. He is also incompetent. Please fire him now.

So then they would also defend a white supremacist who exercised their first amendment rights to proclaim the overthrow of the US by skin heads as well...in keeping with this policy of theirs.

If he were at a Klan rally, would there be the same reaction? LA boycotted the state of AZ for enforcing the law...now, the milk-fed tax eaters are worried about the Constitution?

Since when?

LAUSD’s present position is not necessarily their final position, especially with a strategically applied, appropriate amount of pressure.

“...a violation of his Constitutional rights and our bargaining agreement.”

Hmmmmm...wonder which has more clout?

[StolarStorm]

So sedition is legal now?

We thank you for your concern and comments on this matter and assure you that we will continue to monitor this situation closely to ensure that District policies are maintained and adhered to by all District staff.

In other words, everything is going according to District policy and Mr. Gochez will be promoted.
