Public tax dollars fund racist school
K-8 institution backed by groups
seeking to retake Southwest U.S.

Taxpayers along with radical groups that aim to reconquer the
Southwestern U.S. are funding a Hispanic K-8 school led by a principal
who believes in racial segregation and sees the institution as part of
a larger cultural "struggle."
The Academia Semillas del Pueblo Charter School was chartered by the
Los Angeles Unified School District in 2001, local KABC radio host
Doug McIntyre - who has been investigating the school for the past
three weeks - told WND.
Among the school's sup****ters are the National Council of La Raza
Charter School Development Initiative; Raza Development Fund, Inc.;
and the Pasadena City College chapter of MeCHA, or Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan.
"La Raza," or "the Race," is a designation by many Mexicans who see
themselves as part of a transnational ethnic group they hope will one
day reclaim Aztlan, the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs. In Chicano
folklore, Aztlan includes California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and
parts of Colorado and Texas.
The school teaches the ancient Nahutal language of the Aztecs and its
base-20 math system. Another language of emphasis is Mandarin, even
though no Chinese attend.
MEChA, founded at U.C. Santa Barbara in 1969, has the stated goal of
returning the American Southwest to Mexico.
