CHICAGO -- The Illinois State Board of Education has reinstated a suburban Chicago school district today -- one day after the board used its harshest available sanction against it.
The board voted yesterday to cut off funding for Elmwood Park District 401 over the district's decision to deny enrollment to a student based on immigration status. But the board today voted to reverse that after the district's board adopted a resolution that said it would no longer deny enrollment for students based on their immigration status.
The ISBE says it will continue to monitor the district to make sure it follows that law. The board says the district also agreed to train all of its employees on the issue.
So Ill. wants this school district to aid and harbor aliens eh? No wonder Ill. is in such a sad state of affairs.
Ever notice how strange, nutty, official decisions seem to always come out of the blue states? If it's not Illinois, it's Massachusetts or good, old, reliable California.
Outside of C(r)ook County, Illinois isn't blue.
Same in Ca. The coast is bluer than blue. The central valley is mostly red. Population density is in the coastal blue as the crops in the central valley can't vote.
unfortunately not true anymore. The surrounding counties are very weak; they accept whatever Blago and Da Mayor do. Even DuPage has no backbone. Yeah, they call themselves conservative...
IL is dead to me.
I see the same thing eventually happening in Virginia:
Substitute Fairfax County for Cook County, and substitute Prince William County for DuPage County..same story.
Hell, they (VA) put TWO Democrats in as governor in the last few years.
I think increased population density either attracts Democrats or otherwise causes people to vote for Democrats. Makes you wonder about the "smart growth" proponents who want to increase population density....
