“Los Angeles’ community colleges are an underappreciated treasure of this region. They are the door through which our immigrant culture enters the American workforce — the educator of nurses and firefighters, and professionals of all types. What’s more, in contrast to L.A.’s public schools, the Los Angeles Community College District is a responsibly run system with a record of fiscal and educational success.”

From an LAT news story, March 2, 2011: “The nine-campus district has long been criticized for its poor graduation rates and the low number of students transferring to four-year universities.”

Here’s hoping the editorial page starts reading the rest of the paper soon!

They are blowing all kinds of money “Greening” all of their school campuses. Despite the fact that our state is in such bad shape that our gov wants an additional $70 Billion from tax payers, SF somehow has millions of dollars to blow on their feel good projects that will never offset the cost of implementation.

Their credit cards need to be shredded. When these people are are given a blank check they take it as permission for them to open their own imaginarium to dream up as many crazy ideas as they possibly can. I dont know how many times they have to fail before someone steps and put an end to this madness.
