And the real losers are the suckers that have to pay for services for the children of lawbreakers. A lack of common sense has rarely been so seamlessly woven into the fabric of stereotypical official arrogance as well as here mastered by Marita Loose.
The golden goose can only take so much before his overtaxed hard fails due to over strain.
Somebody should suggest that there may be some funding in it for them. They’ll get some numbers right quick.
Political correctness determines what information will be collected and publicized, and which is not to be known.
In the case of illegals in public schools, the politically correct crowd doesn’t want to know. They take a don’t ask/don’t tell approach to this question.
In the case of same-sex marriage and Proposition 8 in California, they sought the information and publicized who contributed to the politically incorrect side of that initiative to define marriage. In that case, the politically correct crowd decided that we should know who has the audacity to think that we should define marriage in our society.
Tough to get around the Equal Protection Clause and the Plyler Decision.
What are illegals doing in public schools? In most school districts, a parent who enrolls their child in the wrong school district can be prosecuted.
For example, if your local public school is substandard and you use a relative’s address to qualify your child to attend the school in the neighboring district, you can be brought up on charges.
Is illegally living at an address, acceptable? but illegally claiming to live at an address, a crime you can go to jail for?
Keep the poor sots ignorant, non-English-speaking, and , especially, SPED. Worth about $20,000/head, right?
That's how 'Big Edu' will keep the bucks rolling in...and they can justify the pelf under the 'doing something nice [with other people's money]' rubric for ignorant, in-communicative, learning-disabled kiddies [until they're 35 years old in the 7th grade].
The consequences suck.....unless you want a majority dependent class of dependable Democrat/socialist voters....
I guess they'd call that a 'win/win!!
No the "real winners" are the ones stealing $10,000+ per year per illegal alien "student", from US taxpayers (US citizens and legal immigrants). US taxpayers are the losers, as usual.
I’m in PA and hear about it every year. Parents are warned and offered examples of these horrible malefactors who try to fudge their addresses to get their kids a better education.
They better not dare publish information about illegal aliens...however we do need to threaten AIG execs who receive bonus pay with the publishing of their names.
What...I say what...has this country become?
” prohibited by federal law from seeking a count of how many illegal immigrants are in the county school system.”
are they prohibited from counting them for the unemployment figures??
Ping!
job security. 99.9% of student population illegals.
“asking immigration status might discourage some parents from enrolling their children in schools....”
ummmmmmmmmmmmm......GOOD!!!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
That's it in a nutshell.
Precisely. If they can't take a head count to let us know how many illegals we are footing the bill for, then they also shouldn't be allowed to count them for federal funding.
