Denver Schools Protest Arizona Immigration Law
AP ^

Posted on 04/29/2010 10:57:05 AM PDT by Heartlander2

DENVER (AP) ― Denver Public Schools officials say they are banning work-related travel to Arizona so employees are not scrutinized under a law requiring officers to ask people about their immigration status.

DPS spokesman Kristy Armstrong says school employees are in the country legally but officials don't want them to be "subjected to that kind of scrutiny and search." The Arizona law signed last week by Gov. Jan Brewer requires authorities to question people suspected of being in the country illegally.

The law goes into effect this summer.

DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg and board of education members are expected to announce the travel band Thursday afternoon.

Because the Denver schools have taken this action, standing against Arizona, then perhaps Freepers can vote against the Denver School of Science and Technology for the Obama White House "Race to the Top" Commencement Challenge. That way Colorado will not be the recipient of a high school graduation commencement visit by Obama.

I am sure glad that civil servants have to stay out of politics.

The AP just keeps on misrepresenting the law. Shameless.

Looks like I’ll be cancelling my trip to Denver this summer.

I’m not going to support a city that supports the destrcution of my country via unchecked illegal immigration.

Denver should move to Mexico IMO.

Denver schools have hired employees who can’t show they’re here legally?

How do they know they’re not illegals?

If we want to punish them, we should vote FOR the Denver school so they’ll have to put up with obama for a day.

OK this is getting out of control, kids do what they are told, and they go to school for an education.

the left like the NAZIS and he commies used kids to brainwash and promote their agenda and this has to stop what the teachers union are doing.

Most of these kids have no idea what they’re protesting about and the parents need to get a grip because if they ever tried that crap I’d be at that school in a heart beat

GREAT! I wonder if it will be a Mariachi "band"?

Seriously, is there any such thing as an editor these days?

How does the DPS feel about their employees being carded when they go into a bar?

All of this can be traced to The One being P!SSED that Arizona has legislation to require proper paperwork of elligibility for the White House in 2012.

That is why the hostility. Sure there is the voting demographic but for Obama, it’s personal.

Now you want Denver to check paperwork on prospective employees. We can’t have that in America 2.0.

Don't be bringing that TREASONOUS pile of filth to MY state!

We just ignore the city of Denver. They're LONG past hope - and change.

To go under that kind of scrutiny and search, the authorities must have reasonable cause, implying they may have committed a crime. Would you want your kids subjected to people that may have committed a crime on a regular basis?

Maybe we can make a list of all the cities or states that boycott AZ and give them back some of their own medicine.

Man, is the media ever hysterical over this issue.

Its more proof for the absolutely key role the Marxists see for illegal immigrants in deconstructing the old USA and creating their new 'worker's paradise'.

Anyone who supports and facilitates their presence here needs to be slapped down and hard.

If they succeed there is no hope for this country.

I think they know they are illegals. That’s the whole point.

As fast as the Denver Schools System jumped on this, I would say it is not if, but how many wetbacks are working in Denver's Schools?
