Last year, the center registered more than 800 students from more than 70 countries. Collectively, those students spoke more than 40 different native languages.
The district also noted families shouldn’t be concerned about registering their child based on their immigration status. The district referred to Plyler v. DOE, a U.S. Supreme Court decision which held that it is unconstitutional to deny free public education to children who are not legally admitted into the United States.
City immigrant populations have been on the rise since Mayor Michael Nutter’s signage of a a pair of executive orders, starting in 2009. “All city services, including but not limited to the following listed services, shall be made available to all city of Philadelphia residents, consistent with applicable law, regardless of the person’s citizenship or legal immigration status,” read a portion of one order. “[Those services include] police and fire services; medical services, such as emergency medical services, general medical care at community health centers and immunization; testing and treatment with respect to communicable diseases; mental health services; children protective services and access to city facilities, such as libraries and recreation centers.”

40 different languages. The taxpayers are on the hook to hire ESL teachers and more spec ed (or rather the new and improved special snowflake label “life skills”) teachers and more counselors and more security dudes and more resource teachers (aka the teachers who handle them right before they call security) and more and more and more whatever special services.
The number of languages spoken by the students at our nearest elementary school is 26. That is incredible in the Heart of Dixie. My daughter’s class is using an app on a tablet to assist with one student from Finland. There are so many Muslim students now that I quit counting. Most of them have family attending the university here.
My oldest sons attended a high school in Tucson. I don’t think they had as many countries represented there as are at this elementary. And their high school was/ is the largest high school in Arizona.
