California Department of Education

	April 25, 2002 - Delaine Eastin again rewards school that retaliates against teachers!
	Delaine Eastin, the California State Superintendent of "Public Instruction" (that's beginning to sound like an oxymoron!) not only was Eastin personally aware of the horrors against children at Lomitas Elementary School but, after she presented the school with the "California Distinguished School Award, she had the audacity to nominate the school for the "National Blue Ribbon Award" from the United States Department of Education. Isn't it just wonderful that the highest elected education official in California intentionally IGNORED the severe problems at Lomitas Elementary School and supports a school that discriminates against children and harasses teachers!
