These are college seniors. Among the institutions whose students were surveyed: Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Michigan.
It should go without saying that in a republic, civic education is a fundamental necessity. If even our elite college graduates have no idea what the First Amendment does, the country is in trouble.

Wake up boy and girls, Politics have no place in high school athletics. Who would transfer a winning coach right before the season begins and more importantly why? Once the Article is written it will be published and all of the research connecting the dots to the ones who leverage bond finances and campaign finances for a position that can only be earned.
TTFN
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LULAC Council No. 1 and the American GI Forum will hold a press conference to address concerns regarding the forced transfer of Mary Carroll High School Volleyball Head Coach Doris Elizondo; who holds 149 wins and 5 losses as well as 5 consecutive District Championships and 2 undefeated District seasons while at Carroll High School .
Certain members of the Carroll High School Boosters have pressured Carroll High School Administrators to transfer Ms. Elizondo for reasons that have not been made clear or were either not presented to Ms. Elizondo in a timely fashion; allowing her to address or correct them.
LULAC Council No. 1 and the American GI Forum feel that Ms. Elizondo has been denied due process within the CCISD administration and therefore, her civil rights are being violated both by the school's administrators and those members of the Carroll High School Boosters who have targeted her for removal.
The press conference will be held in front of Mary Carroll High School (on Tiger Lane side in front of the school offices) at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 .
Think I will let it go your mad.....................

Susie Luna and Joe Ortiz....I have never once seen these two clowns ever, EVER build something or someone up. I have only seen them tear people down. I was also an AFT member who left the organization long ago because of the way they have made us as teachers look like idiots. AFT president Juan Guerra is the icing on the cake.
D1: Then you obviously are ignorant of how D. Scott Elliff recieved the position of Superintendent of C.C.I.S.D.!
Do your homework before you write.
Poster @caller.com: "It is much more than a couple of bad words, poster 346709. A teacher who gets drunk in front of her students, repeatedly intimidates them with the use of the "F" word, and much more...the ends do not justify the means."
D1: If what you say is true then you have evidence to support your allegations of "drunks" in your presence?
If so, where is it?
As for the "f" word or "b" word our students are immune to these words, just look at the movies they watch, the songs on their "IPOD" or "MP3" player or the "text" messages they send.
Where is evidence in a Safety Deposit box @ Value Bank Bonds Underwriters for CCISD TAXES?
This is all about a few parents wanting to control Carroll High School Volleyball

The parents who have had negative experiences with Coach Elizondo are the same parents with children who do not play the position they want or as much as they want. The vast majority of current parents and players support Coach Elizondo. The few parents that are complaining are not use to being told NO. Carroll volleyball is extremely competitive and not everyone will play equally or to every parents satisfaction. I have heard some of the complaints and none of them are substantial. If she is re-assigned because of these complaints, then every coach and administrator needs to be re-assigned because they are all guilty of it. She is being singled out because there is an agenda. These few people have already hand picked a new coach of their own choosing.....does that seem fair??
THE VERY PARENTS MAKING THESE ALLEGATIONS WERE FINE WITH COACH ELIZONDO WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO "WINE AND DINE" HER TO INFLUENCE HER COACHING DECISIONS, AND WHEN SHE DID NOT PLAY THEIR CHILDREN AS THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE PLAYED, THEY TURNED ON HER.
This type of influence-pedaling is not right and should have no place at Carroll or any other school. These parents not only "wine and dine" coaches, but also principals, athletic directors, the superintendent and school board members. Do you think it is fair to YOUR child to have a few people with money and access controlling your child's future? What kind of lesson are we teaching our kids?? Are we teaching them that hard work and sacrifice pays off to earn a position or that those with the largest pocket book get what they want at any cost!! Make no mistake about it, this has nothing to do with Coach Elizondo's abilities or ethics. This is all about a few parents wanting to control Carroll High School Volleyball.

Carroll principal: Elizondo not reassigned
Players, fans gather to protest volleyball coach's possible exit

Carroll High School head volleyball coach Doris Elizondo currently is not being reassigned, according to one school official. Yet a spokesperson for Elizondo said Wednesday the coach still fears she could be.
Nearly 100 people gathered across the street from Carroll on Wednesday afternoon in support of Elizondo. Many of those were current Tigers volleyball players decked out in "We want Coach E to Stay" T-shirts and holding up banners in support of the coach.
Carroll High School principal Bobby Templeton said Wednesday that "as of today, no final decision has been reached by this school district concerning the reassignment of Coach Elizondo."
"Coach Elizondo, and all other coaches and administrators, are fully aware that reassignment of job duties is a possibility," Templeton added. "Since this is a personnel issue, we cannot comment on specific details. However, issues have been raised by parents, staff and community members concerning her actions, which prompted my investigation into these matters."
Corpus Christi Independent School District superintendent Scott Elliff, CCISD athletic director Brenda Marshall, and Carroll High School athletic director Terry Morris were unavailable for comment Wednesday.
Elizondo referred all questions about her coaching status Wednesday to League of United Latin American Citizens Council No. 1 education chairperson Susie Luna-Saldana.
Luna-Saldana led Wednesday's rally for Elizondo and played a tape recording for those in attendance in which she says that Morris, who she said knew he was being taped, told Elizondo that she would be reassigned in May.
"Unfortunately this is happening because there are certain parents that want coach Elizondo moved," Luna-Saldana said. "Coach Elizondo has never been written up for anything. Up to this point, there have never been any concerns brought to her attention. When you connect the dots, the idea is that (a few Carroll volleyball parents') children are not getting enough playing time."
Carroll High School volleyball Booster Club president Terrie Steen, the mother of Carroll junior volleyball player Melanie Steen,said it will be unfortunate if Elizondo leaves in May because it could hurt the team.
"My daughter wants (coach Elizondo) to come back and I want what my daughter wants and what's best for the team," Terrie Steen said. "If this particular team is going to be successful with Elizondo at this point, then that's what we need to do because this team's on a roll -- just let them play volleyball."
Carroll junior volleyball player Erica Humbach said Elizondo told her and the other Tigers volleyball players that she wants to come back and coach the team next season.
Humbach said it won't sit well with many of Carroll's volleyball players if Elizondo is replaced next season.
"Bringing someone in (to coach the team) that is completely new and who doesn't know us at all -- that will not end up well for us," Humbach said. "We're fighting for coach Elizondo and she knows it. We love her and she loves us."
In six seasons at Carroll, Elizondo has led the Tigers to five straight district titles in Class 5A, including six straight playoff appearances. She's posted a 133-53 coaching record at Carroll and has a 187-115 career volleyball coaching record in 13 seasons.

CCCT: "Carroll High School principal Bobby Templeton said Wednesday that "as of today, no final decision has been reached by this school district concerning the reassignment of Coach Elizondo.""
D1: as of today this former Cullen M.S. School principal is true to his current assignment as a Janus face double talking drone.
Too bad he is ignorant of the fact that he is just a tool for others political gain.
Some people learn the hard way.
Why did he leave the position of "superintendent of Flour Bluff I.S.D."????
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM............

Since when does "Carroll High School principal Bobby Templeton" speak for, the public relations or the press secretary for this " this school district"???????????????
Talk about liars~ this is not what Eliff and Templeton were saying yesterday.
Now the liars call it ~The reassignments by this school disrtrict......
