    “There’s several examples, you know from teachers handing out ICE cards and showing how NOT to cooperate… somebody has to lead this and say yes we will cooperate because we have a lot of teachers who are saying I won’t let ICE here.”

    Leandra also states on the livestream that ICE cards, which provide very basic constitutional rights, are actually getting students in trouble for being “misinformed.”

    “Cooperate. It’s like the ICE ICE baby stuff. Stop. Cooperate and listen.”

    This person is a fucking cartoon character.

    I don’t know California local politics at all, but surely this is a guaranteed way to immediately put your career on the chopping block in LA, right?

      Orange county is quite conservative for the area, and the area is more conservative than you’d think from the usual LA depictions

        Are you from OC or are you just saying?

        Placentia and Yorba are white areas yes but the rest of central OC is Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and Pacific Islanders migrants that are not even close to conservatives.

        All outer areas of OC are rich areas and the central OC where Santa Ana, Stanton, Anaheim, Tustin are regular folks that look at cops with suspicion.

        So no OC is not rich white snob country.

          Placentia and Yorba are white areas yes

          Placentia has a substantial, long-settled Chicano population along with more recent Hispanic arrivals (together, 38% of the population), not only white suburbanites. Yorba’s a bit more Tricky Dick country. But both cities are quite ethnically diverse.

          migrants that are not even close to conservatives

          Up to a point. A lot of OC Asians and Pacific Islanders vote conservative. So do many members of other immigrant groups you didn’t mention, including those from the Middle East. That’s due to cultural conservatism and a belief that they’ll pay lower taxes.

          But I agree with you that nobody who knows Orange County well would describe it as “rich white snob country.” That might apply to the coastal fringe and some hilltop horse properties, but that’s about it.
