Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

With how much they are underfunding schools, they might be better off...

For those wondering "why?": They want undocumented people to be as dumb as they are.

To be fair, they're also gonna extend this to literally everyone at some point if they have their way.

Trump did get like 60% of the male Latino vote, so that tracks.

In my middle sized city we were closing schools until we had a migration explosion. Some parents had to drive 30 min one way to get their kids to school because numbers were so low in most areas. Our legal parents are happy to have a school open in their neighborhood that they can send their kids to.

Same people like to complain about people existing here who don't speak English or aren't fluent enough to use it in public. Wouldn't you want more vigorous education for them to annoy you less?

No. They want them to accept being second class humans.

Then Americans can have the jobs that they never wanted and where beneath them so they let illegals take them.

In wa state, all children are state-constitutionally guaranteed education.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The good thing is that means WA will be unaffected by this.

The bad thing is that that clause won't matter once Trump signs an EO banning it nationwide.
