theweaselkingA chain of private California schools - which taught immigrants there are 53 states in the United States and four branches of the US government - was ordered to stop handing out phony diplomas this week,
Authorities seized the assets of California Alternative High School and asked a judge to stop the company's 30 schools statewide from handing out "high school diplomas" to students dreaming of a better life through education, Lockyer said.
The company charged its mainly Latino students between $450 (R2 800) and $1 450 for a 10-week course based on a 54-page book that was riddled with errors, according to a lawsuit filed on Monday.
Students learned that Congress had two houses - the Senate for Democrats and the House for Republicans; that the US. flag had not been updated to reflect the addition of Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to the "original" 50 states; that the federal "administrative" branch oversees the Treasury Department; and that World War Two occurred from 1938 to 1942.
The workbook also refers to the play, Death of a Traveling Salesman, not Arthur Miller's classic Death of a Salesman.
