DESCRIPTION:On the week of October 4, 2013, administration officials at Lindhurst High 
 School decided to implement a ban which terminated the M.E.Ch.A. student 
 organization from school. By doing so Lindhurst High School has blatantly 
 denied Chicana and Chicano students an opportunity to extend and enhance 
 their study of curriculum subjects, focusing on democracy, civil rights, 
 equality, discrimination and diversity with an eye toward the perspectives 
 of Chicanas and Chicanos. In denying the club recognition, Marysville Joint 
 Unified School District, Lindhurst High School & Bob Eckardt, Principal of 
 Lindhurst High School, have trampled on students' first amendment rights of 
 speech and expressive association. \n\nTo that end, students, parents and 
 community have retained the services of the Law Offices of James P. Segal 
 Gutierrez. At 9am, attorney James P. Segal Gutierrez will file the claim 
 for damages at the Marysville Joint Unified School District. This will be 
 followed by a short march to Lindhurst High School for the 10am press 
 conference and picket, where it will be publicly announced that the law has 
 filed the claim for damages for violations of denying freedom of speech, 
 expression and assembly on behalf of the student members of the campus 
 student organization - the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan 
 (MEChA) Lindhurst High School chapter. \n\nThe Law Offices of James P. 
 Segal Gutierrez on behalf of the student members of MEChA of Lindhurst High 
 School sent a letter to both Principal Bob Eckardt and Superintedent Dr. 
 Gray Todd a month ago on December 5, 2013 outlining several basic demands 
 to avoid entering into a legal battle. The demands were; allow MEChA to 
 meet on school grounds, access to their funds, the implementation of more 
 conducive environments for Chicana and Chicano learning. Thus far, the 
 administration has not responded and now students and community will 
 proceed with entering into a legal fight to secure their rights.\n
