At South Gate High, nine teachers had been fired and the Second School Program, which provided students who are falling behind with tutoring from university students, had all funding removed.〔("Students Gather to Protest School Inequalities and Lack of Access to College-Preparatory Courses" ), PRWeb, June 27, 2002〕 With the support of the school, 800 students demonstrated against the counterfeiting of CDs of Latino music on December 5, 2002.〔("800 High School Students And Latino Music Stars Destroy Thousands Of Pirated CDs To Kick Off National Hispanic Music Anti-Piracy Campaign" ), HispanicBusiness.com, December 5, 2002〕 On November 3, 2005, about 500 students took part in a sit-in to protest at issues including overcrowding and a lack of textbooks.〔("South Gate High School protest" ), Long Beach Press-Telegram, 3 November 2005〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Gate High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
