Student Walkouts at Pajaro Valley and Watsonville High Schools Against HR 4437
On Monday March 27th, word spread fast around high schools in the Pajaro Valley School District that students would be walking out of their classes at 11:00am in protest of anti-immigrant legislation known as HR 4437. The message of the students was that the United States is nothing without Mexicans and HR 4437 is nothing short of racist.
Word also has it that the Watsonville Police Department responded by deploying officers prepared to use chemical weapons against the students.
I am not sure how things turned out.

In reference to the LA walkouts:
"A few schools chose to bar their doors to prevent walkouts. Officials at Huntington Park High School locked the gates after classes started, but the students climbed over a chain-link fence and joined marchers in their heavily immigrant community."

Apparently, hundreds of students from Alisal High School and Alvarez High walked out too!
The Aptos HS and Watsonville HS #s were put at around 1,000 by KSBW. Apparently at least 2 students were arrested by the cops.

Students reportedly walked out from high schools in Hayward, S. San Francisco, and all over Oakland today for immigrant rights.

Met with a bunch of students marching through the Beach Flats, who said they were from various Santa Cruz schools. I later heard that several hundred students had convened at the County Building. It's time to leave school forever...
