There is a intensive 2 month school in San Francisco called App Academy that teaches Rails. They dont charge money till after you get a job and only take a small 12% of your income. So it is a perfect opportunity for training americans to get in the IT industry so that we dont keep outsourcing jobs. But if you look at the alumni of this schools first graduated class they are mostly foreign workers on work visa who have a CS degree and years of work experience and are getting retrained to do Rails programming: http://www.appacademy.io/alumni
Obama makes a big thing about how he is going to bring jobs back by re-training american workers, so why is this school training outsourced workers?

the point I am trying to get across here is that about 500 people apply for a class with only 30 openings. is there any way any lawsuit can be made by students who are denied training in preference to students who already are in the industry and could get Rails jobs on their own?
What's the point of teaching rails? You can pick it yourself in a couple of days if you are dedicated, in a week tops if you are lazy. Same goes for Django, Node.js and pretty much all other ``frameworks'' out there.
In 1976, a woman filed a lawsuit claiming one of the Three Little Pigs ran up to her at the It's a Small World attraction, grabbed at and fondled her while exclaiming "Mommy! Mommy!" She claimed to have gained 50 pounds as a result of the incident and sued Disney for $150,000 in damages for assault and battery, false imprisonment and humiliation. The plaintiff dropped charges after Disney's lawyers presented her with a photo of the costume, which had only inoperable stub arms.[30]
