The good news is that people in LA are forming support for immigrants
forced to register. The bad news follows.

Speaking at a major policy forum held by the Council for excellence in Government, titled "Evidence-Based Education Forum with Secretary Paige," Reid Lyon, Chief, Child Development and Behavior Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, made the following statement:
If there was any piece of legislation that I could pass it would be to blow up colleges of education.
We find Reid Lyon's statement to be terribly chilling, entirely unacceptable and clearly irresponsible. We call for his immediate dismissal.
Sincerely,
Vermont Society for the Study of Education
