Young Latina's arrest for doodling


Girl's arrest for doodling raises concerns about school's zero tolerance policy. Clearly, the school officials over reacted to this young girl's behavior.

Her crime was just the words, ["I love my friends Abby and Faith. Lex was here 2/1/10 :)"] written on the classroom desk with an erasable green marker.

For her doodling her love for her friends, Lex was handcuffed, arrested and transported to the police precinct.

The way to stop this is to act now.

Call the NYC Dept of Education, (212) 374-5141;

The Mayor, (212) 374-6807; and

JHS 190 at (718) 830-4970 and demand a change.

    MSNBC.COM : Minority babies set to become majority in 2010 - Year could be tipping point when non-white newborns outnumber white

    Minority babies set to become majority in 2010

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35793316/

    Some excerpts :

    WASHINGTON - Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years.

    In fact, demographers say this year could be the "tipping point" when the number of babies born to minorities outnumbers that of babies born to whites.

    The numbers are growing because immigration to the U.S. has boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.

    Minorities made up 48 percent of U.S. children born in 2008, the latest census estimates available, compared to 37 percent in 1990.

    "Census projections suggest America may become a minority-majority country by the middle of the century. For America's children, the future is now," said Kenneth Johnson, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire who researched many of the racial trends in a paper being released Wednesday.

    Johnson explained there are now more Hispanic women of prime childbearing age who tend to have more children than women of other races.

    ----------------

    The Census Bureau is running public service announcements this week to improve its tally of young children, particularly minorities, who are most often missed in the once-a-decade head count.

    The campaign features Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer, the English- and Spanish-speaking Nickelodeon cartoon character who helps "mommy fill out our census form."
    .....................

    That is because Hispanic women on average have three children, while other women on average have two.

    The numbers are 2.99 children for Hispanics, 1.87 for whites, 2.13 for blacks and 2.04 for Asians in the U.S.

    And the number of white women of prime childbearing age is on the decline, dropping 19 percent from 1990.
