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.
The danger is in cheapening the meaning of citizenship. If you want a voice in the oublic life of this country, then strive for citizenship.
How about the fact that they (illegal immigrants) are even here is a violation of law. They are actively involved in criminal activity by simply being here and you want to let them vote too? Incredible!
If they're illegal immigrants, they shouldn't have kids in the school in the first place. This is insanity!

You have to be kidding!!!!!!!
They don't belong here at any level. Their kids are sucking the schools dry. More and more special teachers to teach EVERY DIALECT known to man-even prehistoric man.
Differect values about the rights of females of all ages. Damage to school facilities. No respect for the teachers- as bad as they are. We all could go on and on.
Are they going to print up special ballots which ONLY have the "School Board" candidates on them? Another waste of the taxpayer money. And the cost of counting them separately.
Don't give me the crap about all the taxes these people pay. They don't. They most often work under the table for cash. When they do get on a payroll with a desperate employer, they put down an outlandish number of dependents- I had 12 on a W-4 for an 18 y/o male---which then means that NO Federal or State income taxes are withheld. They use much more in medical services than they contribute to Medicare. They use far more police and sheriff services than they pay in taxes. Use your heads.
This is another slam on the citizen who was born here or who went thru the hoops to be here legally. I for one am sick of the draining of taxes to support "the poor" from God knows where.
Everyone is "POORER" than someone, and there is only ONE person at the top. Everyone else is in a comparison game.
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.
Good Lord....you need to ponder this a bit more.
Do they make a net tax contribution to those schools? Probably not. They are talking about letting illegals vote. They can't own real property in the district, thus they aren't paying the freight. Letting people who don't pay the bills vote is a direct dilution of the rights of the voters who do pay the bill.
The right to vote in an election that affects school funding should be limited to citizens who actually foot the bill. Everyone else is a freeloader.
Ya know, on second thought, you're right. Since we're all world citizens, where each man is our brother, why do we impose such hateful, arbitrary constraints like 'borders'?
I mean, who has the right to determine who and who cannot live/work/play/raise a family in the N. American states? Oh sure, there's probably a bunch of right-wing nutjobs who will try and threaten our extended world family members with violence lest they trespass on their hollowed land, but heck, isn't the what the UN is for - to arrest and bring these perps before a world court?
It is if it in any way involves how taxpayer money is to be spent. The illegals have no right at all in determining how money they don't contribute into gets spent.
Excuse me...but are you CRAZY? My school board taxes are $2,000 a year. I sure as hell don't want some illegal non-citizen voting to keep my school taxes high--by voting to support those candidates that promise to redistribute the weath (ie, spend like there's no limits).
