“If it means that Americans - - have to divert money from dumb shit like math, science, "extra curricular" stuff -- and spend it on teaching English.”

And that’s what’s happening.

We have a school district 1.25% earned income tax on the ballot in May. This is in addition to all existing property and income taxes. Might pass because a lot of voters won’t have to pay it. I give it a 10% chance.

If it doesn’t pass they have to make cuts. Big cuts. All extra curricular activities, for example.

As currently set up, the non-English speaking kids are a net financial drain on our schools. They have to be educated, of course. Should our community be the ones paying for it?
