CA: School nightmare looms
Some might say we have been watching a nightmare for quite a few years in many California schools, no matter how much money we pump into them.
I wonder where they would be, fiscally, without the children of illegals.
“Weakening economy” my Aunt Fanny! It’s the millions upon millions of illegal alien children that they’re forced to educate with no tax base to support it!
Zimbabwefornia BUMP!

Best guess: From 1885 to 1950 Hispanic surnames were a relatively stable 15% of California's population. Today, over 50% of the births and almost 40% of California's K-12 school population have Hispanic surnames. An educated guess would be that about 1/3 of school age children in California can trace their heritage to illegal immigration. Based on today's education budget, that equates to a savings of about $20B (that's Billion with a B) annually.
In light of these numbers, the $1B reduction proposed hardly seems fair.
Oh the humanity. They might even run out of condoms to put on cucumbers. What then?

“School Nightmare Looms in CA”
The real school nigthmare out there is the pro-homosexual push that is going to start in earnest thanks to the Homonator signing that stupid bill.
I think the libs are going to see their nightmare realized when a significant percentage of Christians finally say enough to the gubmint indoctrination centers and their federal funds start drying up.
Best thing that could help now is one initiative, or numerous initiatives, to roll back the spending initiatives passed by the voters the past couple decades. Start with Schwarzeneggers After-school Program passed by voters in 2002.
Worst thing that could happen is the state declaring bankruptcy. At that point either a precedent would be established with the federal government bailing out the state with borrowed money from China, or bankruptcy proceeding would take place with one judge deciding the fate of the state.
We need to repeal all the previously approved spending initiatives, get back on sound financial ground, put guns to the heads of the legislators with firm instructions to not mess with the renewed financial soundness, and let real prosperity return to the state.
If they didn’t push through multi-billion dollar spending hikes every single year, there wouldn’t be a budget crisis to begin with.
Just 9 years ago, California was spending $5,750 per K-12 student. This year, they’re spending $8600.
California is, in many ways, an example of “how not to do it”.
I love how they talk about school monies instead of the tax money spent on sex changes for the mentally ill and prisoners and also the tax dollars paying for the costly hormones that keep them in the right hormone category for their new gender.
All they have to do is end the cross town busing and they would be fine..or expell all the illegals and they would have the best financed school system in the world.
California certainly has done well with the Compassionate Arnold...IMO, this is what the reat of the country will look like with a D-rat or a Guili/McCain/Hucka-R in the WH.
How about the payouts to teacher-molested kindergartenersamong other school childrenI've been reading about at FR. Some settlements have been described as "hefty".
Those are becoming the equivalent of payouts by the RC church, but are paid for by even deeper pocketsfrom taxpayers. Monies intended "for education".
BTW, RobinOfKingston: Clinton is presently touring Wolfeboro, NH, summer home of Mitt Romney.
He will be passing the real estate signs of an agent named "Robin Kingston"!
