Is it really worth it for Republicans

[The Grand Nudger]

The regional thing very well may be.  Possibly related to population density?  If a school has kids of families with money in it, it's probably doing fine, since it has families with money in it's tax base and on the PTA.  Where I live, it's a lot more haves and have nots.  And the illegal families are going to be sending their kids to schools that are already strapped for resources.  

The same was true where I grew up, here..... and as I understand it everywhere.  There were wealthier schools and poorer schools (as in, the schools, regardless of the people who lived around them). We are not adequetaly funding our schools, regardless of the ratio of immigrants or their citizen children who attend.

My kid goes to a nice school, but with a big (majority) Asian (indian) population.  And even with a teacher and full time assistant, ESL program, involved parents, good funding, and well behaved kids, it's still a serious strain on the classroom having 2 or 3 kids that don't speak English to start.

Your school is strained by one or two esl students per classroom?  Who do they staff it with, goats?  Talk about white peoples problems (lol).

I don't know that they do have skin in the american game, though.  The speed with which the Black Lives Matter movement was tossed aside was surreal.  It was BLM!  The police state must be stopped!  The oppression needs to end! And then it was America's the Best in the World overnight.  It struck me as jarring.  I would think that it would feel jarring as well to the BLM movement, who haven't gotten nearly the traction they had right up until the DNC convention since.

Well, there -was- a successful campaign from the right to make BLM to heavy a set of baggage to carry.  It can be politically expedient to ditch BLM -particularly- if you want to achieve some of BLMs goals.  The whole world moves fast now Wall.
