"US inspects gaps in Hub language instruction; Schools neglected English learners" by James Vaznis, Globe Staff | August 26, 2009
The US Department of Justice has launched an inquiry into Boston’s failure to provide necessary language instruction to thousands of students who speak limited English, a violation of federal law that has the district scrambling to hire teachers and expand programs for this fall....
Of course, if you say illegals or point out that resources are expanded for this particular group WHILE TAXPAYERS FACE CUTS in THOSE SAME SERVICES and a TAX INCREASE to PAY FOR THIS (from the agenda-pushing, globalist feds!) you are labeled a racist by the divisive AmeriKan MSM.
Has NOTHING to DO WITH THAT, especially when it is AMERIKAN POLICIES that CREATE the SITUATION!
It has to do with FAIRNESS and the RULE of LAW, as well as OPPOSITION to the OVERALL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION plan that we all know is being piece-mealed!
Boston is the latest Massachusetts district targeted by federal regulators for denying equal education opportunities to English language learners, one of the state’s fastest-growing student groups and a population that has generally posted some of the lowest MCAS scores and high dropout rates....
Again, IN THEORY I am ALL FOR THIS, but TAKE CARE of OUR KIDS, too, and STOP TOSSING TAX LOOT out the DOOR!!!
END the WARS, give us all healthcare, how many times I gotta say it?
The district’s remedy includes hiring 28 new teachers for these students, as well as redeploying existing staff with the appropriate certification, and training more classroom teachers to tailor instruction to students with language barriers. The district is using roughly $1 million in federal stimulus money to implement the plan.
That's not stimulus.
And I'm not trying to be a dink, but WHAT ABOUT OUR OWN KIDS?
Where's all the love for them?
Earlier this year, the district opened a newcomers academy for recently settled immigrant students who did not attend schools in their home countries for several years. Some advocates said the investment was long overdue.
Look, some of these are refugees from wars we have started, some are economic immigrants and illegal. I mean, hey, I'm for, you know, taking care of everyone.
But then you turn around, and whether it be healthcare, clunkers, or anything else that would help the American people the government runs out of money or tells us it's too expensive!
“These kids today are in classrooms where they don’t understand what’s going on,’’ said Miren Uriarte, coauthor of the Gastón report that prompted federal scrutiny....
Well that could be ANY AMERIKAN CLASSROOM and English or non-English speaking kid.

And about the health care:
"Vineyarders pressed by health costs" by Kay Lazar, Globe Staff | August 25, 2009
WEST TISBURY - .... Among some locals, frustration and resentment is palpable on the issue of free health care for illegal immigrants, though few are comfortable being quoted on the topic.
Yeah, why would they when the paper hollers RACIST as soon as the words are out your mouth?
Why, they ask, should they be forced to face a tax penalty for not having health insurance, while others receive government-subsidized emergency care for free?
Yeah, it's the UNFAIRNESS of it all!!!
Under MY SYSTEM it WOULDN'T MATTER and EVERYONE WOULD GET CARE:
No Choice But Single Payer
But AmeriKa can't do what other nations can.
We got a kick-ass military and not much else.
A wave of immigration over the past decade, largely from Brazil, has created an underground island economy, where 16 of every 100 jobs is estimated to be held by undocumented workers, according to a 2008 analysis for the Martha’s Vineyard Commission.
Hey, I have a follower down there. Am I a racist if I complain?

U.S. economic and military policies (or globalist more like it) driving this s***!
But if you complain, it's the second slur employed against you (anti-semitism always being the first card in the agenda-pushing arsenal).
Massachusetts’s overhaul did not tackle the issue of health care for illegal immigrants, who continue to receive limited care under a government-funded Medicaid program similar to those in other states. As recently as Saturday, Obama reiterated that the health care overhaul he envisions would not extend full care to illegal immigrants.
Just wonder why he's lying:
"No matter what happens with the legislation, undocumented immigrants will almost certainly still be able to obtain care in emergency rooms, a major burden in some parts of the country."
Oh, I guess that isn't "full care," is it?
And YOU can't get SINGLE PAYER, America?
