"The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled illegal immigrants have a right to an education, so schools don't ask about immigration status."

WTF?

Yeah, when you actually read it it makes your head want to explode....

That's a true statement. It is illegal for schools to ask anyone for proof of citizenship. Schools can ask for proof of residency, which can be supplied through a lease or even a gas or electric bill, but we ARE NOT allowed to ask for anything that proves the student is a citizen. In addition, if a form asks for a social security number, the person can put 000-00-0000 on any form and it cannot even be questioned.

Folks on this forum often demand that schools ask for proof of citizenship not realizing that school officials can be sued for that.

The federal government has done a good job of tying up the hands of schools. Any illegal can walk through the door, demand education, even special education if needed, transportation to and from school, 2 meals a day, all at the tax payer expense.

Illegals tend to be quite savvy about their so-called rights and quite good at demanding them

Did you not know this?

I educated a group of white, upper middle-class women on this topic last fall. We were at a private school open house, and learning about entrance requirements for kindergarten. One woman asked what the reqirements for public school kindergarten were.

I told her that not only are there no requirements, the United States has agreed to educate absolutely any 5 year old on the planet who happens to wash up on shore!

The women were all shocked; they had no idea illegal immigrants have guaranteed access to U.S. public schools.

And they were worried about their children being required to know the ABCs or write their names before public kindergarten. . .ha. . .English is not required whatsoever.
