Education Dept. Urges Schools to 'Better Support Undocumented Youth'

The U.S. Education Department is out with a new "Guide for Success" that suggests the "important" ways teachers and school administrators can support the growing number of "undocumented youth" in the nation's public high schools and colleges.

"The Department hopes that educators, schools, and campuses will, as they see fit, draw upon the tips and examples in this Guide to better support undocumented youth and, ultimately, move us closer to the promise of college and career readiness for all," the guidance says.

Undocumented children "represent one of the most vulnerable groups served by U.S. schools," and therefore "it is imperative that educators and other personnel understand the unique needs of these students and receive high-quality training and support on how to best serve them."

The guide reviews the rights of undocumented students; explains non-citizen access to federal financial aid and private scholarships; and offers "tips for educators" on how to support undocumented youth in high school and college.

At the top of the "tips" list: Share information about President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which gives temporary legal status to children who were brought to this country illegally by their parents.

How about supporting their trip back to their country of origin so they can get back to school there. They shouldn't be here on vacation during the school year!

Start out by teaching them the concept of 'the rule of law' and how important it is to having (and keeping) a free society.

Then send them home.

Now you know where ALL the money is going for the BOE. No wonder they ask and get more money year after year. Support school vocher so the money you pay in taxes will go to your kid not illegal ones.
