A Los Angeles County elected official who caused an uproar by posting a video to social media calling on local street gangs to rise up and “protect” their “turf” against federal immigration enforcement agents is a leading official in the nation’s second-largest city’s school system. Unsurprisingly, LA public schools actively teach their students to resist “white supremacy,” embrace Marxist-tinged Mexican Chicano liberation theory, and learn how “to become anti-racist leaders.”
Cynthia Gonzalez is vice mayor of Cudahy, a city located in the southeastern part of LA County. Her since-deleted video shows her challenging area gangs to join in on the often violent anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests that rocked the City of Angels in June.
“It’s everyone else who’s not about the gang life that’s out there protesting and speaking up,” Gonzalez exclaimed in the video. “We’re out there … protecting our turf and protecting our people. And, like, where you at?” This “our people” rhetoric is the language of a Chicano La Raza ideology dating back to the social revolutionaries of the 1960s that declares much of the southwestern United States is “stolen land” that must be returned to Mexico.
Disturbingly, Gonzalez also serves as a key figure in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
“She has served LAUSD students and families since 2002 in the capacity of classroom teacher, Title I/Bilingual Coordinator, and School Principal in the communities of Southeast Los Angeles, South Central Los Angeles, Florence-Firestone, and Boyle Heights,” her official Cudahy city government bio reads. “She currently works as the Director of Pilot Schools Support and Innovation, supporting 40 Pilot Schools in LAUSD.”
LAUSD actively indoctrinates students with the radical propaganda inherent to the Chicano movement. A description on a 2024 LAUSD High Schools Course on Chicana/o Studies found at the district website states: “[t]he course also examines the ways that race and racism, white supremacy, colonialism, settler colonialism, and intersectional marginalization have been, and continue to be, profoundly powerful social and cultural forces that have impacted the experiences of the Chicana/o people.”
