California Regulator Seeks To Shut Down 'Learn To Code' Bootcamps

cultiv8 writes: "The Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), a unit in the California Department of Consumer Affairs charged with licensing and regulating postsecondary education in California, is arguing that 'learn to code' bootcamps fall under its jurisdiction and are subject to regulation. In mid-January, BPPE sent cease and desist letters to Hackbright Academy, Hack Reactor, App Academy, Zipfian Academy, and others. Unless they comply, these organizations face imminent closure and a hefty $50,000 fine. A BPPE spokesperson said these organizations have two weeks to start coming into compliance."

    Step 1 - all politicians need to be registered and certified. Letting someone practice politics unlicensed is highly dangerous.
    Step 2 - monthly testing for IQ, education and sanity. If they fail any of these they get a warning by being locked in public stockades naked and the public encouraged to throw rotten fruit and veggies at them.
    Step 3 - Did they learn anything? If no, go back to step 2 until they do.
    Step 5 - if found corrupt or working against the people or the constitution, they forfeit all personal property and wealth immediately and are thrown in the stockades again but allow the people to now use rocks until their trial, after trial hard labor camp for 30 years.

    No death penalty, they need to serve as a warning to others when you try and pass laws that go against the constitution or are for a special interest.

    Special case 1 - if a special interest is found to be involved is a corporation, that corporation is to be put to death and liquidated immediately, it's board and executives all put in stockades and allow the public to do what they want to them. Then to hard labor camp with their friend.
