Babs Boxer tries to recruit kiddie campaigners in L.A. public schools
Photo credit: Leo Alberti
The Boxer for Senate campaign in California is brazenly recruiting public school students through the teachers’ union.
Jon Coupal at FlashReport has the scoop and a copy of the solicitation:
Today the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association notified the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles Board of Education today that, in abject ignorance of California state law, the political campaign of Senator Barbara Boxer has openly solicited teachers employed by LAUSD to urge their students to volunteer for her campaign.
HJTA’s letter to the school district urges LAUSD to immediately inform all its personnel, credentialed or otherwise, that it would be a clear violation of law for teachers to recruit their students on school property during school hours to volunteer for a specific political campaign.
Pursuant to both case law and a specific provision of the California Education Code, what Boxer wants would leave LAUSD subject to both civil and potentially criminal sanctions. Common sense should also tell her that seeking public resources and classroom time from teachers to do her political bidding is just wrong. Barbara Boxer should know better.
Make sure to read the letter, which promises students “extra credit” and credit for fulfilling “class volunteer hours” — and recommends that government and social studies teachers share this video with their students:
This comes on the heels of educators in Ohio using students as Democrat voting guinea pigs — and a long history of the Left using your children as their junior lobbyists.
What did your kids do in school today? Ask them.

Please, dear sweet Lord. Wake up, Californians! You are inches from turning into the Pacific Greece and taking the rest of us down with you.
DUMP BOXER & MOONBEAM.
And Pete Stark-raving-mad for good measure.
If Barbara Boxer can’t be arrested for it. The law is not strong enough. If any campaign violates the law; the candidate should suffer the consequences.
How can there not be enough evidence to put Obama, Boxer, and the rest of the Democrat crooks in prison for a long time? Somebody owes Duke Cunningham an apology. Compared to the average Dem, he is at the lower end of the corruption scale.
This would be funny if the country were not in such peril.
Boxer is not ignorant of the law, she is above it. After all she WORKED HARD to get her position.
If we get the House, I cannot wait for Rep. Issa to do his thing!
Dumb Box
That woman is lower than whale crap.
When my oldest son was in high school here in The People’s Socialist Quagmire of California, they got out early, and got class credit for attending the anti Bush — anti Iraq War rally.
He went and asked some of the other students if they were supporting the rally and the protest. The almost universal response? “No, I just got to get out of school early.”
Teachers’ Unions — giving your children the worst education of any industrialized nation!
California, Boxer is your brain on drugs.
Maybeit IS time to put the bong pipes down and grow up.Yes. But he did plead guilty. So he knows he did wrong. The difference being is that the socialists will never admit to any wrong-doing and will spend millions of your dollars to prove their innocence.
Hmmm…Ma’am Boxer must be having trouble finding adult volunteers.
Californians: Vote for Carly Fiorina for Senate!

After looking at that video, it occured to me yet again that we know how we can tell Obama is lying.
His lips are moving.
Anyone every read “The Children’s Story” by James Clavell?
This kind of crap must be squashed.
Same old, same old. Nothing will be done. She’ll blame in on an over-exhuberant staffer who didn’t know better and, you know, “can’t we all just get along??”
This post just reminded me that every time the teacher spoke in the old Peanuts cartoons, she sounded just like Boxer.
“… in abject ignorance of California state law…” And that pretty much sums up Barbara Boxer. That’s a law we passed, too, so we already know what’s in it.
Sheesh. If she’s ignorant of the law, maybe she needs to marry a sleazy lawyer to help her out.
Oh, wait…
hahahahahahahahahaha!
Or is that:
Wah-wah-wah — wah-wah-wah-wah.
I would love to have Boxer lose and have the same General call her “Ma’am” in a committee meeting.
She’ll win, of course. LA city and county decide all CA statewide political races.
Too bad we can’t have real reform there. Repeal the 17th amendment and put something in place to stop direct elections of any statewide office. If you represent the entire state, then the entire state should have a say. Direct elections of statewide offices don’t provide for that.
Typical behavior from a self important Socialist commissar.
I expect Boxer to lose. Tell you why. Because over on HuffPo, they’re spreading a rumor that Fiorina has suspended her campaign due to her hospitalization and essentially implying that Fiorina is dropping out of the race. That will make even more liberals stay at home.
Also out of California, maybe Meg Whitman wouldn’t be losing to a senile hippie if she weren’t as bad about pandering to Hispanics as any Democrat.
Daily I thank God I don’t have kids in school now. If I did, I would do all I could to home school them. Taxpayers are paying babs for this? Yes they are.

You know, this teacher might have been willing to give Boxer a pass on this letter, were it not for the campaign video to share with students. Without it, it could simply be argued that it was nothing more than the campaign making teachers aware of volunteer opportunities for students interested in volunteering for a campaign. The video, however, makes it very clear that teachers were being asked to go beyond their mission of educating students and providing them with learning opportunities, and instead engage in political indoctrination in the classroom.
If the GOP leadership hadn’t insisted on offering liberal democrats as the alternative, both Moonbeam and the Hollywood Ma’am wouldn’t have a chance. The Republicans have to start nominating Republicans.
Just the latest example of how the GOP leadership is destroying California by refusing to back Republican candidates.
The only thing I want to see from this woman is a screen door pattern impressed on her rear-end as she leaves the government dole forever.
Teachers unions = lazy people who don’t care about kids, especially when they are sexually abused in school.
Agreed, Phil. The CA GOP is just democrat-light. Or maybe light-headed.
If we had real candidates, with real solutions, and real integrity, we’d stand a good chance. But with this current GOP leadership, it’s just good luck.
This was the year CA GOP should have made the big move but the McCain/Bush/Rove machine knocked us out of the game before the game even started. They secured the entire southwest for the establishment machine by backing McCain in AZ and Fiorina in CA and now everyone is all excited about potential wins for conservative candidates in small states like DE, MA, AK, NV, and KY. Quietly lose big but make big noise winning small. Whoopee.
I can’t tell you how upsetting it is to keep reading all of the pinheads here making their “give CA back to Mexico” comments. Why don’t we give AZ and CO back to Mexico too. And while we are surrendering state by state, why don’t we give New England back to England?
Conservatives better be ready to fight on November 3 or it will look very grim for 2012.
And for long after that–these Progressive scum never stop and we best not either. Time after time the Conservative/GOP wins big and then gets complacent- we start letting the RINOs wander the land destroying all. The win of 1966 was to be a Conservative revival but led to the Nixon years. Nixon gave the Progressives everything they wanted and we ended up with Watergate, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.
Then we had Bush l try his best to dismantle all Reagan did which led to Clinton and Bush ll. Do we detect a pattern here? Every time we “reach across the isle, try to “accommodate” we drift further into the nightmare of Big Government Progressiveness.
The ploy with the LAUSD may be illegal but what elected official in California will investigate? Eric Holder’s Justice Department? With voter fraud a new Human Right I fear California is lost.
But then I am losing interest in a United States-our differences are just too great and I will not submit to fascism regardless of “majority votes” or fascist court decisions.

Let your sidearm be like American Express:
Don’t Leave home without it.
I think the teachers ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY should share Boxer’s video, along with a warning that “this is what it looks like when an elected official oversteps her bounds.” Can you imagine the cries from the libtard media if Ah-nold had done that?
Errah Unfortunately social studies comes after Banana Condom class and the kids are either asleep or skipping class. So sorry Madaam
Oh, come on now. It’s obviously all Bush’s fault.
We dont give CA, AZ, NM, or CO “back to Mexico” because, thanks to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidlago, the US paid for them.
But CA is a hopeless drain so maybe we should consider it. My elderly mother taught in LA schools for 40 years. She and all her retired teacher union friends love Boxer. I’m not surprised about the above school volunteer project. Just amused they are so blatant. Like I said, CA is hopeless, unless the RINOs win, and even then…

Dumb as a box of rocks. Or dumb as too much Botox.

And when Boxer and SanFranNan and Jerry “moonbeam” Brown win on Nov. 2–California will really go down the toilet!

An amazing political claim by Texas Governor Rick Perry–that since 2005 about 80 percent of the U.S.A. job gain is in Texas. Must have something to do with low taxes and pro business policies.

Call Me Senator Beatch!
California better understand that since the 1960′s America has given the left a mandate to rule by putting the presidency and both houses of congress in their control, and each time the country has massively rebelled against their agenda with huge wave elections thereafter. It will be a long time before Americans give these people another chance. This means that when California starts calling for a bailout of it’s pensions and gubmint, the person on the other end of the line is very likely to be a conservative striving to cut the federal budget. “hello, are you there? hello”
1964 Dems, 1968 Republicans
1974 (watergate wave) 1980 Republicans
1992 Dems, 1994 Republican wave.
2008 dems, 2010 Republican wave.
Notice how the time in control by dems keeps getting shorter, while the time dems are out of power keeps getting longer. HMMMMMMM
Notice too, the longer they are out of power the crazier they get when they are IN power.
