I am really confused about this, can anyone explain the logic in this whole post?

Both Hispanics and Whites are free to choose which school their kids will attend.

If a school is "mostly all white", it is not just because the white parents send their kids there. It is also because the Hispanic parents do NOT send their kids there.

If the Hispanic parents do not send their kids to a school, it must be because they see little or no advantage in sending their kids to that school.

This article has been posted before. Of course these parents don't want to send their kids to these schools, why should they? Do you think they can get a good education in a school system where almost a third of the students can't speak English and where the inevitable gangs will soon raise their heads? They're fleeing the Hispanics, not overcrowding, and rightfully so, if they want their children to have a chance in life. Eisenhauer doesn't care whether these children's lives are ruined, their aspirations, feelings, safety, and future don't have to be considered, they can be experimented on at will like the lab rats he considers them to be. (I wonder where Dickie boy's children went to school.) These parents ought to be compensated for sending their children to these schools as part of the, dare I say it, reparations owed to them by the system for the things done to their community.

BTW, don't you think a place that has so many children who can't speak English might be a good place to hunt for illegal immigrants? You know, enforcing the democratically passed laws already on the books in this so-called democracy?

This story is nothing but a political stunt to take the heat off of the senator that has been trying to close the Class I (K-8) schools in Nebraska for years. When he was pressed to qualify the false statements he made about tax savings from closing the schools, he flew into a rage and started screaming about discrimination. Of course, the media jumped all over that, never-mind the fact that he'd been lying about everything else he said on the floor of the legislature. Almost everything that is written in that AP story is false, including the statements made by Eisenhauer. He's just another pawn for the State School Administrators Association and the Teachers Union, both of which have been backing this idea for a long time. Their hope is to shut down the rural schools so they can suck more property tax dollars into wasteful, poor performing schools. That way they can justify hiring more "administrative" staff to figure out how to waste more money. For the facts relating to this story see:
