DELANO, CA Today, a Kern County family is suing Governor Jerry Brown, claiming that California's new fracking regulations do not protect the health of Latino public school children. The lawsuit, filed by the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment, argues the new fracking regulations illegally discriminate against Latino public school children, who are disproportionately affected by the negative impacts of fracking in their neighborhoods.
California's Government Code section 11135 prohibits the state from intentional or unintentional discrimination on the basis of race. The suit, which names Governor Brown and California Oil and Gas Supervisor Steve Bohlen as defendants, claims that the state is discriminating against Latino students by permitting wells in close proximity to schools they attend.

As this illustrates, Latinos care about other issues besides immigration.

Latinos love Bernie because Bernie hates fracking.

2. I have always admired Jerry Brown,

but he really needs to step up on this issue. Besides the human misery, fracking in an earthquake state is just insane!
