This is insane… ~21,000 students were absent today in Charlotte Public Schools, likely due to the new ICE operations. That’s ~15% of total enrollment.

This is why class sizes are too big, resources are stretched thin, and translators are needed.

While the official attendance data still needs to be finalized and approved by the state, CMS officials told Queen City News that approximately 20,935 students missed school on Monday.

This makes up around 15 percent of the students enrolled in the school district, which is the 16th largest in the country.

This proves we have been invaded because we are divided. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Overloaded waste of space schools.

Over 40 million on ebt.

200K getting CDL licenses illegally that cause accidents.

Housing and rental availability and shortages.

Total healthcare disaster.

We need to speed up getting them out of here.

These weren’t illegals, they were privileged white kids who skipped class to protest against ICE....

“This proves that OUR taxpayer dollars are paying for illegal alien children to go to school on OUR DIME meanwhile you have American children who cant read at a 3rd grade level”
Many of these children either don’t speak English very well or at all, forcing additional spending to teach them English or hire bi-lingual teachers. They are doubtless charming and harmless, but expensive.

Or, the Black citizenry found a way to take some days out of school and blame President Trump

Should be a law. No one should be fired because they don’t speak the language of the invaders.

Ironically, they are looking for sex traffickers.

We need to get Plyler v. Doe (1982) over turned, illegal alien children should be schooled with TAX payer money. Let the charity's pick up that tab while we are hunting them down to deport them.
