		I was sad for Xavier Becerra, and for the entire Jewish community, because of some of the obnoxious, arrogant and inaccurate things Sheldon Teitelbaum said during his interview with the mayoral candidate ("One on One With Xavier Becerra," March 30).
		When Becerra talked of adding 300 teachers to LAUSD, Teitelbaum said sarcastically, "How many kids on the Westside attend public schools?" Well, I know that my son and many other Jewish kids attend an excellent LAUSD school on the Westside that has remarkable teachers and an amazing principal.
		Without intending to, Teitelbaum made us, as Jews, look like elitist and isolated folks, when in fact there are hundreds of thousands of Jews in Los Angeles who do care about public education, crime prevention, and mutual respect between classes and races.

	Metroblogging Los Angeles: Better Know Xavier Becerra
		That's right, our very on Xavier Becerra finally made it in there with a pretty spiffy parody of Access Hollywood/Entertainment Tonight prefacing the interview.
		The interview is actually pretty painful, as Becerra takes none of the bait that Colbert offers (though he doesn't ask the Abramoff question).
		What I did get out of the interview that was new to me was that Xavier Becerra has proposed a Latino history museum in Washington, DC.
