<!--startindex-->LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles law enforcement officials plan to crack down on students who leave campus Wednesday by issuing truancy citations. LA School Superintendent Roy Romer says students leaving campus will be automatically considered truant.

Truant students could face discipline ranging from suspension to exclusion from certain school-sponsored functions. Students who are cited by law enforcement officers can face fines up to 200 dollars and 20 days of community service.


Despite school lockdowns and rainy weather, some 11,000 students from nearly two dozen Los Angeles County campuses skipped school Tuesday as immigrant-rights rallies continued, leading to some arrests.

Why do I get the feeling the ACLU will be bellyaching about this?

FInally... Don't know why they didn't take action when they first started these walkouts.

Because they wanted the walkouts to happen. In fact, it's not over yet because they want more walkouts to happen.

The walkouts will happen until something happens to ignite a full scale riot.

Meanwhile, illegals are still crossing the border.

Roy Romer's the ex-guv of Colorado. He'll forgive all the truants and let them back in and explain it all in lousy Spanish, and then get nominated for a Nobel Prize.
