Colleen Leduc already had a lot going against her. The Barrie woman was holding down a job while struggling to raise her autistic 11-year-old daughter. She couldn’t afford to give the child the intensive therapy she needed, and was forced to send her to a public school in the area.
So she was completely unprepared for what happened to her and the youngster, an almost unbelievable tale of red tape involving a strange claim from a teaching assistant, a bizarre decision by a school board, a visit from the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) and most improbably of all, the incorrect pronouncements of a psychic.
Educating without advocating is a fine line that county commissioners are required to walk as a number of local tax options go before North Carolina voters this May.
The “progressive” State of California, is doing the best they can to make sure young children are brought up the way the State feels they should, and not the parents.
So in costing the taxpayer money, we have to bribe our young to stay in the public schools system. This screams to me that the public school system isn’t doing it’s job by making education fun and interesting enough on a regular basis to retain our children’s attention span.
It’s high time the Federal and State governments stayed out of the the schools and let it be handled on a local level.
A clear majority of the public school teachers in the nation belong to the NEA. Yet probably very few have known what their own union has stood for throughout the years of the 20th century. The following is a chronology of just a few of the revealing activities and published statements of the NEA during that time:
Ron Paul doesn’t talk around the subject of education. “The federal government does not own our children,” the presidential candidate says on his Web site. “Yet we act as if it does by letting it decide when, how, and what our children will learn. We have turned their futures over to lobbyists and bureaucrats.”
Released by William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, in response to Governor Mike Easley and Martin Lancaster, and Erskin Bowles’s push to admit illegal aliens into NC Colleges at In-State Tuition rates.
1. In-state tuition for illegal aliens will replace American students in the very limited seats in our colleges with illegal aliens at taxpayers’ expense.
2. A huge majority of North Carolinians oppose in-state tuition for illegal aliens and to implement it against the will of the majority is to disempower our citizens and overthrow our principles of self governance and majority rule.
3. In-state tuition and college access for illegal aliens sends the wrong message, it will reward illegal alien families, as well as, attract more illegal aliens to North Carolina.
4. Allowing the illegal children of illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition benefits would be like allowing the children of bank robbers, shoplifters, and car thieves to keep their ill-gotten gains achieved by the lawbreaking of their parents.
5. North Carolinians have a birthright to decide what our educational institutions’ policies are because it has taken generations of tax funding to build our Universities.
6. Allowing illegal aliens to attend college at in-state tuition rates is a violation of Federal law established in 1996. Even Governor Mike Easley is aware of this because he stated in a Charlotte Observer Exclusive on 4/22/2005 that aiding and abetting illegal aliens to enter or remain unlawfully in the United States is also a violation of Federal Law.
7. In-state tuition rates for illegal aliens is unfair to American students from other states and the children of military families from other states present in NC who do not qualify for the huge discount.
8. Placing illegal aliens in NC Colleges will force taxpayers to train illegal aliens for jobs that are illegal for them to take. The state and taxpayers would become accessories to this crime.
William Gheen on Fox News Cavuto criticizing the administration of NC Democrat Governor Mike Easley for giving hundreds of thousands of licenses to illegal aliens and the terrorists among them and allowing an attorney in his administration to open NC Colleges to illegal aliens. This decision was a matter of “policy by memo” by bureaucrats.
