L.A. Students Stage Walk-Out, Teachers and Administrators Join-In
"Tens of thousands of students have walked out of schools in California and other states Monday, waving [Mexican] flags and wearing white shirts
to protest a law making it a felony to be an illegal immigrant. At least 8,500 students marked Cesar Chavez Day by walking out of several Los Angeles-area high schools, from the San Fernando Valley to the Pacific Palisades," CBS-TV reports.
