| KTLA, Save Ms. Salazar, Press Conference |
 |
Yesterday afternoon a press conference and
protest occurred over the removal of educator
Karen Salazar, fired by the administrators of
Jordan High (Watts) for "Afro-Centrism".
Poet and Educator Mark Gonzales also publicly
resigned from the school over frustration
over administrative and educational
atmosphere, along with over a dozen other
teachers.

NOW: The Principal is calling students into
the office for passing out flyers about
Sazalar's firing and demanding the retention
of caring teachers.
He is claiming "disruption" of school
activity even though the protest on the flyer
is AFTER school hours and NOT ON SCHOOL
GROUNDS!
DEMAND:
IMMEDIATE return of students to their
classes;
STOP the waste of their instructional time.
STOP the harassment of youth practicing
democracy.
STOP the abuse of power.
