SACRAMENTO, Calif., August 9, 2004

(AP) California has joined other states in acting against a private school that claimed to award high school diplomas while teaching its immigrant students a curriculum riddled with errors, including the wrong years for World War II and the wrong number of states.

The California Alternative High School in Los Angeles targeted Hispanic immigrants, charging $450 to $1,450 for a 10-week course it said would lead to a valid diploma and help them get into college, find better jobs and get financial aid, California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said last week.

But the school's certificate isn't recognized as a high school diploma, Lockyer said, and school officials ignored a previous court order that banned them from telling consumers it was.

1. Sounds like the PERFECT FREEPER SCAM!

You think this freeper running the school will get in trouble, or will the fact that he is in Kully-fornia nullify his Impeial Ties.

Or will Gropenfuhrer step in and pull and Ashcroft, purposefully tanking the investigation.

how this whole Charter School, alternative school etc will come to a flaming end.
