The memo was prepared by the head of Odinga’s campaign finance accounting section, Shakeel Shabbir, as an official report delivered to the national treasurer for Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement party, or ODM.

Among the 72 individuals and organizations that contributed money to Odinga’s 2007 presidential run in Kenya, Shabbir lists “Friends of Senator B.O.” as having donated 66,000,000 Kenyan schillings, about $950,000.

Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, the Libyan strongman’s second oldest son, reportedly donated 53,450,000 Kenyan schillings, about $765,000.

According to several highly credible ex-ODM sources WND interviewed in Kenya, the $950,000 raised for Odinga’s campaign came from a series of private meetings arranged for Odinga by Mark Lippert, a foreign policy adviser in Obama’s U.S. Senate office. The meetings with top-dollar Obama fundraisers and donors took place during Odinga’s 2006 trip to the U.S. In Kenya, WND talked to several top ex-ODM officials who played key roles in Odinga’s 2007 presidential campaign.

The officials became disaffected with Odinga after confirming he signed a memorandum of understanding with Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, or NAMLEF. In the Aug, 27, 2007, agreement, Odinga promised that within six months of becoming president, he would “rewrite the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared religions.”

The ex-Odinga officials also told WND that, as Christians, they were appalled to see Odinga use tribal violence as a strategy to gain power after he lost the election by some 250,000 votes to sitting President Mwai Kibaki, a member of Kenya’s majority Kikuyu tribe.

Odinga called on fellow Luo tribal members to protest alleged voter fraud, resulting in a brutal wave of machete-wielding violence that killed an estimated 1,000 members of the Kikuyu tribe in January and February. Some 800 Christian churches also were destroyed or burned to the ground, without a single mosque being damaged.

Enrollment at SF upper-tier public schools (Lowell, Lincoln, etc.) are based largely on entrance exam scores. However, Asian enrollments are limited at these schools, via illegal quotas, to around 67% of the school population. The remaining slots are allocated to other ethnic groups, with lower entrance standards for all the non-Asian students. For example, a middling white student would have little difficulty getting into Lowell High School, the top SF public high school, but an Asian student with similar test scores might be sent packing to a lower-tier school (Galileo, Mission, etc.). Yet despite their racially-engineered student bodies, the upper-tier of SF public schools are still among the highest performing schools in California.

Even so, white liberals appear to have reservations with sending their children to high-performing SF public schools. Barely 1 in 7 students at Lowell High School are white in a city that is 45% white. Quite simply, this is a classic case of “white flight”, but with a twist.

The few conservative white parents in SF (emphasis on “few”) that I know would not hesitate to send their children to high-performing SF public schools. It’s the white, mostly liberal parents in the SF who fear sending their children to those “yellow” schools. Why? Quite simply, their kids would be blown away academically by the children of immigrant parents from East Asia–how embarassing! And that is why there are virtually no whites left in the SF public school system.

Joanne Jacobs’ fine blog has a recent entry entitled: “In U.S., math is for nerds — and Asians”. It explains much… (http://joannejacobs.com/2008/10/10/in-us-math-is-for-nerds-and-asians/)

Thanks for listening.

That being said, antics like driving out ROTC of the schools are one of the reasons that families are leaving San Francisco, enrollments are dropping, and public schools are closing or consolidating. It’s a shame, but San Francisco is not a child-friendly city and not someplace I wanted to raise my daughter.

I’m a white San Franciscan and sending my daughter to private school has nothing to do with Asians and everything to do with the incompetent school system. having said that, I don’t think this is going to pass. I think the schools really thought the public would line up behind them just because it’s anti-military. Newsom didn’t get behind this until well after polls showed the public wasn’t going to march in lock step. We have our problems, but after election day this isn’t going to be one of them.

This is totally false. ROTC has offered to meet any standard that will be enforced across the board on all students. The obese kids are in the regular PE classes where obese ex-athletes (you can’t call them “teachers,” they don’t teach)kick out the balls and let anyone who feels like it to play a game.

The democrat party is willing to harm inner-city children in their quest to hurt the military. I hope the Pentagon starts pulling defense projects out of CA. The C-17 in Long Beach would be a great place to start. DiFi and Boxer, Loretta and Linda Sanchez, Laura Richardson (with three foreclosed homes) all hate the military. The unions in CA add millions to the cost of each plane. Move the production to Arizona or Texas.

SF Schools would rather take 1st graders to a same sex marriage than allow kids to choose ROTC. This is Nancy Pelosi’s hometown. Imagine Pelosi, Harry Reed, and Obama running the country.
