Kentridge High School and Undocumented Students

Tue May 02, 2017 7:33 am

My wife and I both graduated from Kentridge, our whole families did. I can assure you that silly BS has been going on there for years. I remember trips like this when I was in school, there were always kids who couldn't go. Heck I missed some of the trips because of the cost of the trips alone. This is some twisted for-the-good-of-a-small-fraction-of-the-population-all-of-the-population-must-suffer logic.

Flip the tables and cancel ski club because a few students can't participate because it's too expensive... out of sensitivity we had to cancel ski club for all students because if we had the club and poor students couldn't participate then they would be outed as poor and they would be compromised.

a perfect example where many suffer because of deeds of not-so-law-abiding few, same shit, different shovel.

After the absurd 9th Circus amnesty funding lawsuits are cleared by SCOTUS the admin should start targeting school districts like this that screw over citizen students under the guise of "standing by" illegal aliens.

I bet you it is more than one. We have basically been overrun in the schools up here.

It is hard to believe these people are involved in education. So I guess the teachers are teaching the kids that laws don't matter? Great start for a kid. What could go wrong?

Wanna bet at least one person has reported the school district to ICE since they obviously know who the students are.

Someone posted this on the Nextdoor website:

I don't know how to react. I heard today on the radio that Kentlake Band is not going to be able to participate in the Victoria Day Parade which has been a tradition for Kent schools for-EVER! (I think they said 18 years) My kids participated in this event with the Kentridge Band, and it was a great experience for them. I chaperoned a few times, and then also just tagged along to listen another time.

The reason given was that a few members of the band are undocumented. They can't take those few students, so the district (according to the news story) is disallowing the entire band from participating.

If someone has more information on this, I'd like to hear it. I plan to write a letter to the school district. Even though my kids have been out of school for about 10 years, I feel strongly that the band should go, and students who don't have the paperwork to leave the country (or come back) should be left at home. That was the way it was when my kids participated. The few students who couldn't provide proper paperwork didn't hold back the entire band from having a great performance experience.

I left the other quote out, just because whomever wrote it is a puss.

Back the original letter.
Knowing that "a few kids don't have the paperwork" would be grounds for ICE to storm the school and do a mass deportation, ON THE SPOT!
We have to uphold the law, you know.

What gets me is what part of ILLEGAL alien don't they get?
So they are ok with teaching kids that some laws you can ignore just because you think they're wrong? Where does that stop?
A law is a law, no matter whether you agree with it or not. (Until it gets changed.)

I told my kids about it this morning.
Their reply was "If they are here illegally, they should be in jail and deported.

Think about the kids and their families who got in line and legally migrated. What a message. Why bother?

Why does the school district allow undocumented students to receive the free public education that our tax payers fund in the first place? Forget about "fun trips to Victoria," they shouldn't be allowed to steal resources from the school district by attending in the first place.

I understand that's cold, but we have to start taking a stand somewhere, and maybe given the contentious nature of the right to education, that's the right place.

I have crossed the border for the past 4 years with kids not mine. Each time we had to have passport, signed/notarized letter and they needed to see the child. Each driver had to be on the letter along with the exact vehicle(make, model, license plate).

So, unless there is an exception for a school trip, that would be the requirement for these kids. Even if their nationality was not US, they still needed proof of who they were.

At least this way, everyone will get a participation trophy.

What if they've decided 'will not comply' is their slogan/motto....?

And that is their right, up until they get caught. So the kids that ARE lawful get screwed by the ones who aren't.
If I had kids there I'd hope they would figure out which ones are illegal and call the hotline.

There was a news article about a Marine in New Jersey or New York or some other jackassery state who was arrested for having 3 30 round magazines (I think 3). Anyway a couple hyperventilating liberals in the comments were posting like right wingers with comments like "Good" and "About time" etc.......and one lib went off with the whole "Follow the existing law...blah blah blah....well except immigration laws!!" :bonghit:
