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.

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.
