I feel like they'll have to be cleared by their parents.*'Corder also took exception to statements by some of the students that no changes were made after similar walkouts in 1969. “For instance,” he said, “they asked for more Mexican - American teachers and administrators which we now have. But we're given no credit for this.”He said that changes also have been made in counseling personnel which was another demand made in 1969.The superintendent also called for more concern on the part of parents of students not involved in the walkout.“It is a time for our concerned parents who would want to provide a good climate for their students to organize to bring this about,” he said.He added that the students who walked out are being influenced by a group of parents and outsiders and this is something the unagrieved parents should be concerned about.”The list of demands presented to the board last night included, among other things, a formal chicano studies program, bilingual and bicultural education programs in elementary schools, school assemblies on chicano subjects, opening of the school library at night, a school holiday on May 5th (Mexican Independence Day) and the resignation of the school principal.1 he students also demanded amnesty for their actions in connection with the walkout.
