Shouldn't school districts be teaching kids to obey the laws ?????
At Highland Park High School, officials are canceling a girls' basketball team trip to Arizona to protest that state's new anti-immigration law.
A school official tells the Tribune that going to Arizona now -- after that state passed a harsh anti-immigration law -- "would not be aligned with our beliefs and values."
One parent tells ABC-7 that the girls on the team are very upset: "It was a big disappointment. They've been baking cookies to earn money for this and they were just very surprised. They just want to play basketball, that's all, these girls just want to play basketball."
Highland Park also draws students from the heavily Hispanic suburb of Highwood... and school officials said they had safety concerns as well about going to Arizona.
