Surrounded by Pennsylvania’s Amish country, with its farmland, horses, and buggies, Lancaster School District officials are finding out how expensive it is to have the world come to them — especially if it’s in the form of briefcase-wielding American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorneys.
On March 28, the district agreed to bow to an ACLU demand to accommodate “immigrant refugees” aged 17 to 21 in a public high school, whose student body typically is aged 14 to 18.
On behalf of six of the immigrants, the ACLU sued the district last July, demanding full integration. Joining the suit with the ACLU were the Philadelphia-based Education Law Center, a recipient of funding from radical billionaire George Soros, and Pepper Hamilton LLP. In the settlement, the district will pony up more than $400,000, according to lancasteronline.com.
The news comes while authorities in Rockville, Maryland are dealing with the fallout of the rape of a 14-year-old girl in a high school bathroom by two illegal immigrants aged 17 and 18. The alleged assailants had been placed in the public school apparently without vetting. Rockville is in Montgomery County, a wealthy suburb that has declared itself a “sanctuary” jurisdiction.
The Lancaster district had been sending newly settled refugees to a privately run school called the Phoenix Academy, where the district said their needs could better be met. None of the students, some of whom are from Somalia and Sudan, speaks English. They speak Swahili, Somali, Fur (an indigenous language of Darfur) and Hakha Chin (spoken in southern Asia), according to lancasteronline.com.
The settlement comes on the heels of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward G. Smith, a 2013 Obama appointee, who issued a preliminary injunction ordering the district to enroll the immigrants in McCaskey High School. In January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld Smith’s ruling. According to district lawyer Howard Kelin, McCaskey will create separate classrooms for refugee students ages 19 to 21.
“These aren’t kids,” he told a local reporter. “These are young adults.”
The district’s insurance carrier will pay $300,000 for the plaintiffs’ legal fees, according to lancasteronline.com, “while taxpayers will be on the hook for another $70,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, including plaintiffs’ travel and translation.”
The district also will create a $66,500 fund for adult education programs for immigrant students who were unable to enroll in the district or those placed at Phoenix since 2013.
The ACLU had been seeking $2 million in legal fees.
When will the ACLU be demanding supervised, government run shooting ranges for all?

My mom lives outside of Lancaster. Has anyone been there recently? “with its farmland, horses, and buggies”. Yeah, not anymore. It’s all malls, stores and CA style housing developments.
How can one sit still? That’s what I ask myself, as one habituated to sitting still.
but somalians and Nigerians?...not a scintilla of connection except everything if FREE...
I was just through there this evening.
The Philly/NYC burbs start just east of the Susquehanna near Mountville.
Non-stop strip malls and condos all along US 30.
Damn.
Shoot ‘em.
All that young meat of both sexes to rape by the Satanic scum. Thanks ACLU !
Yes, they do, and since I am TOTALLY cynical of the government doing anything about it, I am convinced it will get a WHOLE lot worse, before it gets better.
Still a nice area. And gotta be careful driving a night.

The ACLU is an extortion racket. Like Stormey Daniels.
I believe taxpayers pick up ACLU tabs.
Send those over 18 to NIGHT SCHOOL.
Do not put adults in the classrooms with minors.
Do not put remedial english as a second language students into the general population who are attempting to graduate.
Do not hamstring Americans for imported Dem voters to “turn Ohio” Commie (Red, Dems ain’t Blue).
Pennsylvania, not Ohio, but same point (and same ethnic population/region).
If they can’t read in their own language they usually cannot learn to read or write in another. Send them back.
When will the news media write, “The deceptively named ACLU, a communist front organization”?
