I don’t hear many public schools resisting it.
There’s extra money in it because schools ask for more money for bilingual teachers.
One can take pride in the fact that our tax dollars are being used to benefit Mexico. /s
In California the schools get fed funds by the head, i.e., the more illegal kids, the more of your tax money goes to support education in Spanish [ it`s true- I was asked to teach computer classes in a California public grade school
and most 75% of the kids were illegals -I could only teach the whole class in spanish- per contract -thus I refused]
So not only am I paying for their healthcare, my local taxes must fund their education? Wealth redistribution? Where in the constitution does it state I need to support non-citizens/lawbreakers?
The “dear comrade,” letter
Children who cannot provide proper papers have been in California schools since the mid-60’s
The teachers unions wanted more teachers hired, so they demanded that no interference with a ‘child’s education’ be made against the illegals.
Ask any parent who has had a kid in Los Angeles County schools in any time period since the 60’s.
Got it. So the justice department can avoid following the law and removing illegal aliens because they have the right to assign resources, but a local school district must follow the law to the letter, resources be damned.
I think I get it, Holder!
Let me guess, flexibility is allowed on immunization records.
If I lived in the area and had a kid attending school with an unimmunized kid, I’d sue till they ended the public health hazard.
I believe that the schools are even prohibited from asking for an immunization record from the children’s parents.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY:
1 - Force taxpayers to provide free schooling to illegal children
2 - Refuse to deport illegal children because we have so much invested in their educations
Your problem isn’t fedgov. The problem is your state and school district taking Uncle Fedgov’s money and all the strings that come with it. It’s very convenient to blame the feds, especially if you’re part of the state and local cartel machinery, but your problem here is much closer to home.
And watch your state test scores crater. But the best part for Democrats is, the citizen-kids will do almost as poorly as the squatters’ kids because gangs enter the school environment and caring White parents take their kids out of these dangerous situations. With the left-over Whites doing as poorly as the transplants, they can achieve the Nirvana of Leftists: Equality and Fairness.
Note to DOJ and DOEd:
You have no jurisdiction or authority in how schools restrict access to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Has anyone seen the new Time Warner Cable television adds bosting free telephone service to Mexico?
All public school students should have to prove legal residence in the school district. As for illegals, with the Obama economy, I expect them to continue deporting themselves. Good riddance. I’m in favor of legal immigration, subject to thoughtful legislation regulating both their numbers and their qualifications, but I have no more tolerance or forgiveness for criminals who break the law to enter our country than for those who break the law to enter my home.
Send the bill to Mexico.
Equal Access Act
(Conservative does not necessarily mean Constitution-respecting.)
And when the feds threaten states with loss of federal funds for those schools who don't comply with the fed's constitutionally indefensible intrastate school policies, remember the following. Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So where federal funding for intrastate schools is concerned, the feds are not only wrongly dictating policy for such schools, but are using constitutionally indefensible federal taxes as a basis to threaten loss of funding for those schools which don't comply with such policies.
And all that the corrupt feds want to do in intrastate schools is to indoctrinate children with the socialist agenda.
What a mess! :^(
Are we having fun yet?
reply: ok, but we won’t accept the kids of illegal aliens and foreign invaders.
This zero defying the law again.
What about federal law about aiding illegal aliens?
