Actually not that bad. If the parents have children in the school district I can see where allowing them a say by voting on school related issues wouldn't upset the intent of our democracy.

First, this country isn't a democracy; it's a Republic. Second, without government responsible to citizens only, it isn't a country. Third, the parents of those kids should be deported. If the government followed the law, your statement would be totally pointless, as opposed to merely extremely foolish.

What about the parents of the kids who are here legally under visas and green cards?

I'm all for enforcement, shoot put an INS agent at the polls and schools and hospitals and everywhere else and ask everyone to show proof of citizenship (courts ruled today police can ask all sorts of invasive questions now). But hey, if you're here legally (if not a citizsen) and paying taxes and have a kid in school, you should have a right to hold the school board accountable.

But hey, I'm a wild and crazy guy.
