Apparently diversity outdoes democracy for administrators at one San Francisco high school as demonstrated by their attempt to rig the outcome of a student election.
When administrators encouraged 15-year-old James Ortiz to run for the student council last September, he thought it was because they thought he’d be good in leadership. However, it’s come to light recently that it was because of his Hispanic last name.
Brad Dacus of the Sacramento-based Pacific Justice Institute finds that totally unacceptable.
“There’s nothing more demeaning than for a student to find out that the reason they were being pushed to run for office was not because of their skills, ability, or character but simply because of their last name – and that’s exactly what these principals attempted to do,” the attorney tells OneNewsNow.
When another student won the election, administrators at Raoul Wallenberg High School – still determined to have diversity – attempted to unseat the newly elected vice president and replace her with Ortiz, but he declined.
The administrators need to go, says Dacus. “These principals should probably step down and resign and be replaced with principals who demonstrate true equality and true respect for all students – not preference to others simply because of their race or their Spanish last name,” he suggests.
Annoyed students shot down a proposal by school officials this last semester to let them appoint student leaders in all grades.

Does this really surprise anyone? What I find interesting is WHY these ” educators ” and administrators seem to have zero issue with the raw majority of Latinos in OUR country being here ILLEGALLY, braking our Laws….over burdening our healthcare and education system to the point where born and raised American children are now doing with LESS in schools so we can educate the Illegals kids. This is NOT and never has been about skin color or ethnicity….it’s about Breaking laws and expecting to come here and have everything provided to them @ a LARGE cost to LEGAL born and raised Americans…..YES even and especially Latinos who’ve come here LEGALLY and are still here LEGALLY have learned English and have become a productive part of OUR society it IS a BIG ole slap in their face to ignore or make excuses for why the Lawbreakers should be given immunity or some form of amnesty rather than a short jail stay and immediate deportation
I agree.. I’m fed up with our tax dollars going to support illegal aliens who have come here illegally.. they drain our resources, take our jobs, drain our tax dollars.. we spend BILLIONS of tax dollars EVERY month catering to these illegals.. this is money that could be used to help the citizens, help our vets who are in need of care, fix our infrastructure,… the illegal aliens are bad for our economy, our culture and for America… these illegal alien law breakers should get NOTHING but emergency medical if needed and IMMEDIATELY deported.. it is disgraceful and totally wrong to cater to illegal aliens and allow them to stay in our country illegally. I have no issues with someone coming here to live and work BUT they need to do it LEGALLY!!!
Our citizenship to the country has NO meaning and NO value anymore… when an illegal alien can enter the country illegally and is handed more and more of our rights and benefits, WHY bother to work hard to obey the laws and become a citizen, when it is handed to them without being a citizen… Our government encourages these illegal aliens to enter our country illegally …
It is PAST time to STOP illegal immigration and STOP all free handouts to them.. TIME to get them out of our country and start enforcing our laws…
TRUMP 2016!!!
Why? It’s a deliberate policy of R a c e replacement.
THIS IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY for the average citizen to get involved in the community…too much going on in our country that the average citizens is not aware of…..like being sold out to the Z”one world order”
It seems to me that most of our elected officials, appointed judges and the mainstream media (like they have any intelligence) have forgotten that this is “The United States of America,” not the so called melting pot of the world. Any educated person knows that the Preamble to the Constitution reads as follows; “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Notice the phrase; “People of the United States”, it does not say people of the world. It goes on further to say; “To ourselves and our posterity.” Again it does not say the posterity of the people of the world. It also eloquently stated that this Constitution was ”established for the United States of America,” again, not any other country. If you are not an American citizen, you are not covered under our constitution. Our so called leaders and appointed judges are so far out of touch with America that if we continue to elect these frauds who are supposed to represent “We The People,” then soon there will be no America. It also seems that our votes do not count any longer because one appointed judge can overrule millions of voters based on his/her feelings. It is time for Congress to impeach these rogue judges.
This is not surprising to me one bit. Especially after i heard of several OTHER schools 8 or so years ago, doing almost the same thing. It REEKS of political grandstanding by the administrators, but what I wanna know is where are all the parents on this when it was happening? Why only rant AFTERwards?
While there’re FAR too many people here in the US illegally and any found should be deported, where do you get your figure that over 50% of Hispanics are here illegally?
Is this not the equivalent of forcing a black man, from Kenyan birthright, into the office of President of the United States?
Unfortunately, no one “forced” Obama to be President. Idiots like these administrators willingly elected him, twice, and most would do so again if they could.
These “educators” represent what is wrong with progressives and their need to change how we run our schools. They should not only resign but they should find another occupation.
Ditto that. the “Dumbos” don’t care they want it their way by “Hook or Crook”
Why is a high school in SF, USA named after Raoul Wallenberg? Was he an American? Did he accomplish something in the US? Did he accomplish anything that assisted Americans in some way?
Fired is the LEAST that should happen to them. IMO there needs to be some sort of criminal (or if none can be found then go civil route) charges filed against these goons..
When students in a city as liberal as San Francisco demonstrate better judgement than the school administrators, a house cleaning is long overdue.
These administrators should be fired, and never be allowed to hold in any position of influence over children.
Thank LIBERAL IGNORANCE for this STUPIDITY. Students were right to do as they did and the entire Admin of this School needs FIRED immediately. This is what having a MORON in the White house does to the Nation. ****** and his flunkies need to be charged for treason and Hanged according to the Constitution, this includes Hillary and Bernie. I say that since they supported ****** and His IGNORANCE.
Bear in mind that this is San Francisco where it’s fine to release known and violent criminals onto the streets because of the city’s self-proclaimed Sanctuary City status. How could anyone be surprised that school administrators would attempt such things as these in a “mere” high school setting.
I grew up in the Bay Area and did my undergrad work in Silicon Valley before it was so named. I watched San Francisco go from the lauded Baghdad By the Bay to Bad Gag By the Bay over the decades. I watched a beautiful city devolve into a cesspool over the decades and continually marvel at how San Franciscans continue to tolerate these affronts.
I’m not at all surprised by this; tragic as it may be. San Francisco will need to hit bottom before it becomes just another Oakland, Detroit, Baltimore or Chicago.
I no longer even visit SF. It’s just too painful to experience these days.
Rickintheforest, I am also saddened by the demise of this once-great city. When I first visited in the 1970’s, it was remarkably clean and safe for a city of this size, and residents were proud of it. My daughter went to college there for the last four years, but after graduation was glad to leave. The city still has some good points, but streets full of vagrants, drugs, and general filth are detracting from them.
Things are made worse by the high-flying tech companies based in the city, driving up housing and food prices to ridiculous levels ($1750/mo for a room, shared bath!) and forcing out families making less than $100K unless they are getting government-supported housing. Maybe this is why the city is unable to attract and hold competent school staff.
It is sad. I grew up just outside San Francisco and my family loved it. I no longer live in California but have visited San Francisco occasionally for many years. My daughter studied, interned and worked in Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Francisco while obtaining her PhD. She absolutely loved Atlanta and Los Angeles. I was excited for her to experience the area where I grew up. She absolutely hated San Francisco and could not wait to leave. I was surprised and saddened until she shared so many stories with me about the city’s residents. The city is chock full of liberal crazies. I do not mean left-leaning or free-thinking or whatever they want to call themselves. I mean real nutjobs.
I am saddened too.. When i first moved to the states, SF topped my list of ’10 places i wanna visit during my life’. Now SF (heck practically ALL of the people’s republik of commiefornia) top my ‘places you can’t PAY me to set foot in anymore’..
No matter how qualified and experienced administrators are, they have zero chance to advance to superintendent of a major city school system unless they are fluent in Spanish. I always follow the money trail. Administrators absolutely have a vested interest in having, keeping and promoting illegals in their schools. Congrats to James Ortiz for not buying into their scheme. With his scruples and common sense, he should go far in life.
Which to ME is flat out wrong. Since this is last i checked, still the US of A, not the ‘expanded nation of spain/mexico’, you should NOT be required to be fluent in spanish or ANY OTHER damn language to get to the top spot..
The ONLY language you should be required to speak is ENGLISH!
@Ituser.. I agree… these Hispanics do NOT want to learn English..some of them will even go as far as demanding we American citizens learn their language. my friend works at Walmart and she’s told me they will tell her that she needs to learn English.. she tells them, they are in HER country and they need to learn English…they come here illegally and try to take over… and WE support them our tax dollars.. it is beyond insane…
It is appalling that our government does NOT care that they broke our laws …
Too true mamma.. And i have seen it first hand several times. The most recent was when i was retiring and looking for work and checked out several facilities out on the west side of Houston. One of them flat out told me if i DON’T speak fluent spanish, so as manager i can speak to all the Mexicans working there, don’t bother applying.
And when i asked, WHY not then tell the Mexicans working there, either learn english or get work elsewhere, i was told “Can’t do that or we get sued for being racist”…
What the flip over???
Ituser, that is why we should require our politicians to make English the official language. Many countries do, including some in Africa.
Ituser and Recce1, I think in some areas, they have tried to make English the official language and they never get it voted in.. too many bleeding heart idiots and special interest groups won’t allow it.. they would rather cater to the illegals.. than listen to the concerns of the citizens… There was a school in the Dallas area not long ago that let teachers go because they didn’t speak Spanish. there are jobs here you can’t get either unless you speak Spanish… it’s just NOT right.. this is OUR country, yet these fools are allowing the illegals to steal it from us… We citizens are paying not only their free medical, free schooling, housing and food in some cases, etc.. we also have to pay for their translators if then end up in court for some reason, we pay for their lawyers when they go to deportation hearings.. IF they can’t speak English, they should pay for their own translators.. it should NOT be OUR responsibility
True dat. Heck on some other sites, i have asked whether the US should have a national/official language and if so what it should be, and the majority of respondents who DO say we should, all said Make it spanish.. Though some clarified it by saying “We are heading that way anyhow…”
From local schools to national government, Big Bullies rule. And behind it, from local schools to national government, be certain, it’s $ & power, not warm, fuzzy feelings that motivates these tyrants. Wake up!
This is not about diversity its about social engineering and the destruction of Democracy… the underpinning standards for social behavior and our historic cultural structures… fundamentally transforming American into a Socialist State. It’s about a general assumption that Hispanics are more attune to socialism and a society which is directed from the top down… a peon/patron culture.
These Administrators all need to be FIRED… the underlying motivation for there actions serve only to focus on their bias and socialist activism…. willingness to engage in FORCED social engineering/indoctrination of our children. Multi-culturalism has proven to be nothing more than a policy created to destroy our heritage and historic DEMOGRAPHICS… leadership, social and institutional culture… to support one favorable to a Socialist State… and the principals of Marxism.
Last time i checked, vote rigging was still a crime. So since this WAS their attempt at rigging an election, even if it WAS only for student body president, it should still IMO carry a criminal charge with it…

I agree with your post however we should be vigilant about human desires pertaining to leadership ” from the top down”!
Remember the first congress wanted to ” crown” Washington…
…and I’m sure every Kennedy son would have been president had they kept their moral compass.
It’s human to want leadership…we are looking for it now.
I have a Blond hair Blue eyed niece married to a man with a Mexican Surname and a Nephew who’s wife is of Mexican Heritage. She now has an Irish Surname. Which of my nieces do you believe sight unseen could be elected to an elected office in California.
KPC… that is a rhetorical question… we all know that Hispanic’s along with other minorities often vote in blocks for those of their ethnicity or race. Racism is alive, well and rapidly being exposed as heavily invested in discriminating against those outside of their race… and the PC band wagon.
kpc,
Or New Mexico or Arizona or anywhere else where there’s a large population of Illegals….hell we have them here in Indy trying to shame our elected officials on the steps of OUR Statehouse requesting in state college tuition and chit like that….these Invaders have some major ballz, they need to be TOSSED out on their ears.
And that’s why i will NEVER support, aid or otherwise give my vote to any politician who’s for Amnesty. I don’t care how good they might otherwise be, if they are for Amnesty for these criminal invaders, then i will not support them.. PERIOD!
One would think that education system administrators would be the first to know that the education process is one which determines, by discrimination between correct and incorrect with respect to facts and figures, who is qualified and who is not based on degree of success or failure.
It is grossly unfair to have minority difference as the sole criterion for selection to a position or capacity which requires a specific set of skills.
This was precisely the argument against “affirmative action.” It only considered the minority difference factor as the qualifier for assistance.
We have a president, who, many of us believe, is not qualified to do the job, and, in many aspects of his performance, he has proved that to be the case.
You can not insist that “we are a nation of the rule of law” and, then, disregard the protocol, propriety and procedures of due process of law as they should apply to one’s self and everybody else.
Liberals need to realize that discrimination, based on educational accomplishment, is a compassionate thing. Let us never require of others that which they can not do. But, if it is a matter of “will power,” give them all the disciplinary encouragement they need.
They are liberals.. So of course they won’t know that..
Just watch nearly anything coming out of Hollywood these days. Let’s take the highest grossing movie, Avatar. They may as well have called it “White Man Bad”.
Gubmint Schools are just propaganda training centers, and it is no wonder that recently on Memorial Day, few if any of our under 20somethings knew nothing of the meaning of the holiday or its honorees.
Alas I see you need to add two numbers together to prove you are not a robot when you log in. Is this some racist way to prevent people from gaining access to post on these boards?
Something to think about.
LOL.
Would that I could vote you up. X1000!
While i do get irked at that, i would rather have to put up with that, than see this board get spammed by liberals using bot accounts.
San Francisco?
Gee.
What a surprise.
[Yawn.]
In re-reading the article I was struck by how embarrassing this must have been for Ortiz and the girl who won. It is a credit to his character that Ortiz declined when the powers that be tried to force the issue. I think Ortiz probably has a better take on this than usually happens in these situations. Perhaps he wants to earn his victories and not have them handed to him by the condescending adults who don’t believe he can do it on his own. Congratulations to the winner and kudos to Ortiz for being a bigger man than the “alleged” grownups.
This is yet another example of how socialism turns into fascism when leaders do not get their way. Socialism is agreeing with your leaders who know best. Fascism is disagreeing with your leaders who know best.
