Open Question: If illegals are costing one state their education costs are nearly $12 billion annually how much would it be?
If illegals are costing one state their education costs are nearly $12 billion annually how much would it be if an accounting of the costs were added up across America ? The legislator most responsible for bringing comprehensive immigration reform — the law-and-order kind — to the Sooner State presses on.

State Rep. Randy Terrill, a Republican member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, has authored a bill — Quality of Education Assessment for Oklahoma Citizens Act of 2010 — which would mandate that public school districts “measure and assess” how many of the enrolled students are here illegally.

One purpose of the assessment? To learn what the cost is to legal Oklahomans.

It’s a fair query.

And a pertinent one.

The education of these children is no small endeavor. Taxpayers have a right to know those numbers, as do lawmakers who bear the responsibility of crafting and voting for state budgets. Citing statistics compiled by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), of Washington, D.C., Terrill estimates that in 2006 Oklahoma spent $160 million a year educating students who are unlawfully in the United States. Nationwide the total K-12 public school expenditure for illegal immigrant education costs the states nearly $12 billion annually.

Americans have to thank the U.S. Supreme Court for this educational budget buster.

In a 5-to-4 majority vote, the Supremes, in the case known as Plyler v. Doe (1982), ruled that states cannot withhold education funding to children who are illegal aliens. This, despite the fact that Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., writing for the majority, opined that “public education is not a ‘right’ granted to individuals by the Constitution.”

That confession, from an unapologetic liberal no less, is of scant comfort to those who, today, bear the burden for instructing those students due to this bizarre foray into judicial activism.

Resolved Question: Do we actually need to teach evolution in the public schools? Why not let local districts decide?
It just seems like forcing people in certain parts of the country to teach evolution makes them really mad.

And when you think about, you realize that there is no reason to antagonize them so much.

Why not just let them teach creationism or whatever? It might calm them down a bit.

Some people might get upset and be like, “Oh no, but what about all the smart kids who are getting screwed over by the lack of education?”

LOL. Okay, first of all, let’s be honest with ourselves - rural Oklahoma is not exactly a hotbed of future evolutionary biologists!

At most, kids from places like rural Texas need to learn how to pump gas without burning themselves, or maybe how to hold the shovel while digging ditches so that they won’t develop carpal tunnel.

Come on, man. We all know they have no future anyway. Why make them study a topic like evolution that they probably wouldn’t understand to begin with?
