But on Thursday, only 17 of 26 students showed up to his homeroom at New Open World Academy in Koreatown, where Fequiere teaches special education and English language development. They were participating in the Day Without Immigrants protest, a nationwide movement in which immigrants closed their businesses and stayed home from school to show their economic importance. Fequiere wasn't the only teacher missing a few kids in the classroom. So if a large number of students stayed home Thursday, the school district could lose thousands of dollars. The video explains about the rights immigrants have in a raid.
