Liberals Prefer Illegal Aliens Over Your Kids
Townhall.com ^ | March 23, 2017 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 03/23/2017 3:39:48 PM PDT by Kaslin

A few weeks ago in this space I asked a simple question: How many victims of illegal alien crime will be enough to make Democrats and the media care about illegal alien crime?

The answer was simple – there is no number. They’ll never care because they’ve hitched their fate to the prospect of legalizing illegals and winning their votes. But the problem they back-burner for political gain still smolders, and last week it claimed another victim…all in the name of “progress.”

Montgomery County, Md., is one of the richest counties in the country. It’s also an extremely left-wing progressive county that prides itself on being “welcoming,” which is liberal code for a sanctuary county. The sanctuary status is not official, according to county leaders. They pretend they aren’t fully on board with sanctuary policies because they don’t want to lose federal money, but they are.

That unofficial status pushed the city of Rockville to out-liberal its county and push to put their sanctuary status on the books, taking steps in that direction just two weeks ago.  A new horrific crime may put that dream on hold.

Last Thursday, a 14-year-old student Rockville High School allegedly was forced into the boys’ bathroom and violently raped by two of her fellow freshman students. Those student were not typical students, they were grown men – ages 17 and 18.

Why were two men old enough to join the military in the 9th grade? Because they were assigned freshman status by the “welcoming” schools, no questions asked.  At least one of the men, 18-year-old Henry Sanchez, is in the country illegally. As for the other, 17-year-old Jose Montano, officials won’t comment on his status because he’s underage.

This 14-year-old girl had to share her classroom with two grown men who had no business being in the country, let alone the school, in the name of tolerance.

That tolerance, as is always the case with leftists, is a one-way street.

After Donald Trump won the election, Montgomery County students staged a walkout protest against the incoming president. The Washington Post reported students were chanting, “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.” Where do you suppose they got the ideas behind that?

In February, the Montgomery County Council sought to reassure residents – liberals and illegals alike – they would protect those here illegally, particularly when it came to the schools. “We cannot allow people to be so fearful that they keep their children away from school because they’re afraid their children will be taken,” Council President Roger Berliner said. He also said, “Bad things happen.”

Isn’t that nice?

Since the alleged attack, many politicians went silent. Weird, right?

Yes, statements were released, but that’s been about it. The superintendent, Jack Smith, assured parents the alleged horrors committed “do not represent the positive values of our students and school communities.”

Smith concluded, “The safety and security of every student in our district is our top priority and a responsibility that we do not take lightly.”

Nothing on why men old enough to graduate – who don’t even speak English, according to reports – were put in classes with 13- and 14-year-old girls.

School principal Billie-Jean Bensen sent a letter to parents that read, in part, “Ensuring a safe, secure and welcoming learning environment for all of our students is our top priority.”

Again, the safety of students cannot be a “top priority” when you’re putting grown men, whose background could not have been checked for criminal history, in classrooms with children. Principal Bensen’s priority is exposed in the “welcoming” part. Why else mention it under such awful circumstances?

When politicians and activists put the comfort of illegal aliens ahead of the security of Americans students, something is fundamentally wrong.

Principal Bensen concluded her letter by adding, “Please remind your child that if they believe they are a victim of an assault or see something inappropriate, they should immediately tell a staff member.” It’s clear the Montgomery County power structure is circling their wagons to cover their own asses. And that grammar is not a priority.

If they were serious about protecting kids, administrators wouldn’t put adults in with freshmen and wouldn’t allow illegal aliens, whose backgrounds and history cannot be verified or even checked, anywhere near children.

Montgomery County recently hiked property taxes by 8.7 percent in part to address the extremely high cost of educating illegal alien students who don’t speak English. Sanctuary already had a cost. Last week, that cost went higher than the civilized mind can comprehend. For progressive liberal Democrats, there is no cost too high. If your children suffer horrendous, unspeakable acts in the name of “tolerance,” so be it.

You can’t make a progressive Utopia without ruining a few lives…

Oh for crying out loud....you are allowed to have your own beliefs but NOT allowed to make-up crap and post it as "fact"!

You are absolutely CLUELESS re the history of and historical facts about the education system and syllabus of this nation!

Right after WWII, yes, there was a "new math" introduced ( well, that "new" method was, in N.Y. State ), but though my parents and grandparents didn't "get it", it was how my great grandmother ( who yes, was still alive ), had been taught math, in Hungary, in a Catholic convent school!

Though there always have been some differences in methodology and in some subject, in private, parochial, and public schools, as well as from region to region, until Madeline Murray O'Hare became won at the SCOTUS, in 1963, the Bible was still being used in schools of ALL types and at ALL levels, as was the teaching and instilling American factual history and PRIDE, until the 1970s!

Even though there were CARD CARRYING, STINKING COMMIES, in all levels of education, they weren't the norm or even all that public about their positions, and it was EXTREMELY rare, for those teachers to propagandize students.

Now that you've been educated....please try to keep to facts , stop hyperventilating, and refrain from posting unalloyed. crap

Michael Dukakis didn't get that upset in the debate about the idea of his wife being raped, maybe liberals think women enjoy it.

Is it asking too f’ing much to be able to spend the fruits of my labor on my own kids instead of some other poor schmuck and his kids?

It actually goes way back to John Dewey. He is the theorist that got this all set in motion. My first 4 grades were in a U.S. government financed American private school in Istanbul, 1952-1956. It used the Calvert System and had a bit fewer than 100 students grades 1-12. When my family returned to the States and I started in public school the only reason I learned anything new before 9th grade was I read a lot of books and loved history. My mother was constantly bitching about this fellow Dewey and what his theories were doing to the schools, even then. I think I learned to love history because our 3rd and 4th grade history books in Istanbul had more information in them other than statistical comparisons than North Ward Elementary School or Willard Jr High School books had after we got back. I had learned multiplication tables and all the non algebra math, science and Geography (ever heard of Geography in a public school, well, if you are under 50), etc. We had Civics which I ran into again in Jr Hi but had already covered it. My nieces and nephews never saw a Civics course.

Into the eighties the teachers did not propagandize but they taught less and less. If you don't have any history background, school propaganda is unnecessary, you have no tools to sort out what the leaders of society - the politicians- are telling you.

I've known all about Dewey, long before you did, as a child, and also know ALL of his theories...most of which were NOT put into practice, in American schools systems, until rather recently. Doing away with cursive writing, was one of his very first stupid suggestions. He believed that EVERYONE would, someday, ONLY use typewriters.

There are good schools, mediocre schools, and bad schools...this has ALWAYS been true. Obviously, you went to a lousy school and your mother blamed it on Dewey.

My mother learned less, in school, than my grandparents had,by the time I was in school, it had been dumbed down some more; however, it still wasn't pushing lefty propaganda, alternate/fake history, and there was NO PC crap at all! Even in college and grad school, the teachers/profs didn't let on what their political leanings were. I was lucky....all of that soon began to change!

I was even taught to write cursive, using a straight pen and built in inkwell and still have almost a perfect Palmer hand.

There have been many crazy, weird, peculiar teaching methods pushed, for the past several 100 years; Dewey isn't the ONLY one to blame! These "new" whatevers have come and gone and now, just keep on getting worse and worse; even in elite, posh, very expensive private schools. And no, home schooling doesn't cure all of the "ills"; there are some nutjobs home schooling too.

I am older than 50, went to public schools prior to high school, learned massive amounts of factual history, geography, all maths, prior to algebra ( which my grandparents and my progeny got, as well as geometry, in what is now called middle school !) and most assuredly more subjects than you were; per your post.

My progeny and their progeny went to/go to private school. They all learned/are learning geography, history, math, and foreign languages!

You only know about your own little life/bubble and NOT anything other than that. You write in broad terms, about a topic you aren't all that knowledgeable about.

You'd be wiser to keep it to your own experience, what little you know is happening now, or yes, perhaps even in the '80s, but that still falls rather short of your opening shot.

Without looking it all up, I highly doubt that you can talk cogently about Rousseau's teaching methods/ideology, nor anything at all about the private English school, whose methods were introduced, into some American school systems, around 1952, which did NOT last long at all, where the children, in grades as low as the fourth grade, picked what topics they would study. But I can. :-)

And FYI, Summerhill began in 1921 in the UK; long before Dewey had infected enough AMERICAN teachers and schools with his ideas. Those idiotic ideas DID make it across the pond and affected some here, which was quickly dropped.

My wife just retired from a 37 year career as a public school teacher. I am rather up on developments. She has done a lot of tutoring for students whose parents understood that the school system was not teaching anything. And it didn’t start last year. You sound awfully like someone trying to justify keeping his kids in public school.

I heartily suggest that your wife give you an intensive remedial reading comprehension course. You missed the fact that my progeny and theirs have ONLY ever gone to PRIVATE school and that I went to an elite, private boarding school for high school.

I NEVER said that public schools are great, that everyone should go to one, nor that I, in any way, approve of recent methods used to teach prospective teachers how to teach! As a matter of fact, I believe that future teachers be taught how to teach using the old "Normal school" methods! And neither do I agree with WHAT is being taught now, in most schools, nor how.

For the most part, a majority of parents have abrogated their parental responsibilities. Learning should begin at home and continue, in one way or another!

Since Dewey was at Columbia Teachers' and at the U of Chicago, spouting his ideas and ideals re teaching, prior to the time when my grandmother, mother, and I entered grammar school, one would imagine, that his methods would have hit, whilst all three generations of us, were in school. They didn't! Neither did they truly "hit" when you came back to the states and attended the lousy schools you did. Nor were they popular, to any degree, in the 1960s!

My disagreement with you, is that you are talking about things you really don't know anything much about, no matter what your mother told you, nor because your wife taught school.

I gave you many examples, talked about two crazy, other than Dewey's methods/ideas, and can go even further; though that would just waste even more bandwidth and bore everyone else, including you, to tears.

“We cannot allow people to be so fearful that they keep their children away from school because they’re afraid their children will be taken raped and murdered by overaged illegal invaders,”

I fixed it for Mr. Council President Roger Berliner. Because, as he also said, “Bad things happen.”

As one commentator said yesterday, “Its as if the leftists want us all to die together, in tolerance and diversity”.

I think you are correct. But I also think they had additional motives. One of them is to provide a steady supply of underage and undocumented sex partners for elite perverts.

Another is just flat out greed. They sell out to the highest bidder to line their own pockets. No concern about the results, just take the bribe.

One thing that surprises me in all the discussion of this case is the whole “consensual” defense.

If a man is 18 and a girl is 14, isn’t it statutory rape regardless of whether the girl consented???? How can this possibly be a defense?

If it looks like you can’t get a conviction for violent rape because of insane liberal politics, then I say, yes, go down this path and get the thug to admit that he had consensual sex with this girl. Then put him away for statutory rape.

I hope her parents sue the hell out of the principal of this school and every other person who has created and defended the school’s policies instead of protecting this child.

...until they rape their daughter

Don't count on it. Liberals will gladly sacrifice their children for the cause. See the parents of Amy Biehl, Mary Jo Kopechne and Nick Berg for examples

Their daughters do not ttend this school. This is just another case of immigrants who believe in the rape fatwa, doing exactly what they said they would do. And these uber lib parents who were for immigrants need to let them move right into their own house. If you believe in something so strongly, take fiduciary responsibility for those whom you claim to believe in..
It’s to late to see something, say something after the rape. But thanks principal Idiot.

“If you don’t have any history background, school propaganda is unnecessary, you have no tools to sort out what the leaders of society - the politicians- are telling you.”

I agree totally, unfortunately as far as I can see there are NO young people and very few middle aged people who have even the most basic understanding of history and I include even those who have degrees in history. All you have to do is make a comment while in a group discussion to the effect that this country is NOT supposed to be a democracy. If even one person fails to look at you as if you are an idiot cultivate that person’s acquaintance, he is the only one in the group who is NOT totally ignorant.
