But did any of the 300 kids learn Nahuatl... AS IF THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY ONLY 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE IN MEXICO WILL PROVIDE A LEG UP IN CALIFORNIA
LAUSD school board president Monica Garcia's degree is in Chicano Studies. It doesn't matter if the kids learn nothing at all except victimization by white oppression theory - she probably thinks that government exists to fast track them civil service jobs and express, exclusive access to social services when they grow up.
This is Jose Angel Gutierrez' Aztlan in practice. Infiltrate government and education, drive off all the others except a few token tools, and organize and indoctrinate with taxpayer funding. Racist, discriminatory, and probably very illegal if anyone else tried it.
Significance of the comment concerning teaching Nahuatl in California:

The United States Census Bureau has designated the five county region as the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside, CA combined statistical area, with a January 1, 2009 population estimate of 17,786,419.[2] According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Los Angeles metropolitan area has a total area of 4,850 square miles (12,561.442 km2), while the wider combined statistical area covers 33,954 square miles (87,940.456 km2), making it the largest metropolitan region in the United States by land area, but more than half of this is the sparsely populated eastern areas of Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

17,786,419 people in the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area.
Only 1.5 million speakers of Nahuatl
in Mexico, and most of them will be able to speak Spanish - 500 years of cultural assimilation to Mexican ethnicity. The slur "Pinche Indio" in Mexico has roughly the same meaning as "F**king N***er in America. All the concern in the Mexican national consciousness for Mexican Indians is lip service - Except for Indians dead for 500 years or manipulative propaganda and feel good political pronouncements Mexico has little use for living Mexican Indians.
Need Nahuatl to internationally competitive? I don't think so. It's a crock of Aztlanista crap, On a par with teaching Sicilian kids Etruscan or the Greek of Homer's Iliad.
