Teachers, parents and students are all across California came together Thursday to protest against cutbacks in education.

The so-called "Day of Action" is in response to the 18,000 pink slips that are expected to go out statewide by March 15th.

The California Teachers Association set up the mass protest to tell California lawmakers to stop cutting money from the state's education system.

Protesters showed up at Desert Hot Springs High School at around 6:30 a.m. Thursday, flashing signs and handing out flyers. Protests were also scheduled at several Valley high schools and elementary schools, including Palm Springs High School and Cathedral City High School.

California schools are overcrowded--crammed to its inability to educate and--WHY--you ask. WHY! Is very simple? The schools through k-12 to even college level have been hijacked by millions of illegal alien schools children and students. It's become a heavy burden on not just California, but all border states. It's been spreading like rotten fruit for decades and its now uncontrollable. That the truth of where taxpayers money is going? Its certainly not going for Americas infrastructure that's crumbling. It's not going to our homeless veterans, our senior citizens or single Mothers. The liberal 's assembly in Sacramento have frowned on any law that cuts public subsidies to who ignored our laws of sovereignty. California--has become a--THE SANCTUARY STATE --for these illegal immigrants and families who are robbing each state blind, in health care, education and a long list of supporting program that is costing--BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Steve Poizner, just filed his intention to be Governor and is the perfect candidate to bring California out of the financial doldrums, because he is a anti-illegal immigrant. He has also stated he will cut of all public subsidies to illegal immigrants, which could help stop the draining of the states treasuries of--BILLIONS--of dollars.
