    “There’s several examples, you know from teachers handing out ICE cards and showing how NOT to cooperate… somebody has to lead this and say yes we will cooperate because we have a lot of teachers who are saying I won't let ICE here.”

    Leandra also states on the livestream that ICE cards, which provide very basic constitutional rights, are actually getting students in trouble for being “misinformed.”

    “Cooperate. It’s like the ICE ICE baby stuff. Stop. Cooperate and listen.”

    This person is a fucking cartoon character.

    I don't know California local politics at all, but surely this is a guaranteed way to immediately put your career on the chopping block in LA, right?

    Orange county is quite conservative for the area, and the area is more conservative than you'd think from the usual LA depictions

    Orange county is rich white snob country. I guarantee this person has the backing of 75% of the county.

    Are you from OC or are you just saying?

    Placentia and Yorba are white areas yes but the rest of central OC is Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and Pacific Islanders migrants that are not even close to conservatives.

    All outer areas of OC are rich areas and the central OC where Santa Ana, Stanton, Anaheim, Tustin are regular folks that look at cops with suspicion.

    So no OC is not rich white snob country.

    Placentia and Yorba are white areas yes

    Placentia has a substantial, long-settled Chicano population along with more recent Hispanic arrivals (together, 38% of the population), not only white suburbanites. Yorba's a bit more Tricky Dick country. But both cities are quite ethnically diverse.

    migrants that are not even close to conservatives

    Up to a point. A lot of OC Asians and Pacific Islanders vote conservative. So do many members of other immigrant groups you didn't mention, including those from the Middle East. That's due to cultural conservatism and a belief that they'll pay lower taxes.

    But I agree with you that nobody who knows Orange County well would describe it as "rich white snob country." That might apply to the coastal fringe and some hilltop horse properties, but that's about it.

    Wowzers When I taught I always thought my job was to advocate for my students. I understand this person is not an educator but they should still have the same goal I would hope.

    About a decade ago, less than 2 miles from that building is an Italian restataunt where the heads of a white suprrmacist gang would meet.

    I would instantly remove my child from any school that did this.

    Schools should not be working with terrorists, and especially not allowing them on campus.

    Will they be providing the boots to lick, or will you need to bring your own?

    Nothing will meaningfully change if people feel safe saying these things

    To clarify for people not from CA, and having lived in OC for the better part of a decade, it's relatively more conservative and yet also not.

    For example, places like Santa Ana literally working on getting voting for undocumented people for municipal elections, cannot be more anti ICE. Naturally they're targeted by some of the worst abductions and such, which is a shame because they're some of the coolest people I've met in OC.

    On the other end of the spectrum, Huntington Beach literally made a MAGA plaque for a library and many of their council members wear the red hat openly. Sure enough, very pro ICE and the majority of black and brown people you'll see are the slave labor employed for their gardens and shit. I once was invited to a Thanksgiving there and it was awkward as shit watching gardeners working while we were sitting down for dinner.

    Then everything else is mixed. Irvine, a city ultimately owned by a company, has turned weirdly blue over an influx of immigration but is still very much a fascist place at times with heavy policing. I saw a homeless man abducted by police and likely relocated to Santa Ana once, and that was a bit chilling. That's their solution to unwanted people.
