It's been a rainy week in Southern California, but that hasn't stopped public school teachers from marching for their rights. Roughly 30,000 Los Angeles area teachers are holding a strike for more resources and smaller class sizes to offer more personalized attention to their students. Want to do something to provide a better education for LA's students? Call your local representatives. 90% of LAUSD's funding comes from Sacramento. Find your local Representative here (bit.ly/FindYourHouseRep) and call your elected officials today. ----------------------------------------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national

We cannot be fighting each other. That is exactly what ISIS wants. They see this issue as a war between Islam and the West. The more you fuel that rhetoric, the more you play into their hands. ISIS represents cruelty. Islam represents mercy. ISIS represents destructive behavior. Islam says to go and build a civilization. American Muslims are part of the solution. That sizes ISIS down. That puts them in their place. They are nothing more than a mafia and criminals that use the veneer of religion to support their cruel, barbaric practices.
