If you cannot read the below, try highlighting it. For some reason when I copied it over, the first paragraph came out correct but the rest of the passage was hidden. I changed it to black so I am not sure if it will show up on every forum theme since I personally utilize the OSFrosted theme.
Cheap Tomatoes?
From a California school teacher -- "As you listen to the news about the
student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you
should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large
southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school,
meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell
Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are
also Title 1 schools.
One hundred percent of the students in this school and other Title 1
schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program.. When I say free
breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast
and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud.
The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being
dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least
moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school
also provides day care center for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as
young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having
to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX
DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding
for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my
budget was already substantial I ended up buying new computers for the
computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved
with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and
grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers
whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the
country less than 3 months who raised so much ***# with the female
teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores) and throwing things that the
teachers were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it
any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand
rights, privileges and entitlements?
To my liberal friends: I hope you're really proud of how our congress
has helped to sell-out this country with this pro-illegal policy.
To my bleeding-heart liberal friends who want to point out how much
these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their
gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some
time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more
crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new
diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because
we won't have the guts to enforce it.
Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?
There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to
our country and many that I consider my true friends We should encourage
and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world
culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting
pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate,
and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about
politically correct" that we don't have the will to do anything about it.
