Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

FED UP: Say NO to Illegal Alien Charter Schools!!!!!

From A.C.T. at Take Back Georgia:

FED UP: Say NO to Illegal Alien Charter Schools!!!!!

I. Am. Furious.

At this weekend's fall festival; us parents were signing a petition to get improvements made on our children's 50 year old, literally-falling-apart-at-the-seams-elementary school.

Today-our local school board is filing petitions for two, brand-spankin'-new bilingual charter schools, so:

...there would be a place for newcomers as well as a dual language school.

There would be two parts, Schofield said. One part would be newcomers to learn English so they could assimilate into the system, the second part would be made up of half native speakers and half speakers of Spanish...
In case you didn't know, the word, NEWCOMER, is the new word for ILLEGAL ALIENS.

So let me get this straight; our legal, AMERICAN CITIZEN children can sit in a rotting, 50 year old school, while their parents BEG for upgrades. And the children of ILLEGAL ALIENS get:

new 900-student elementary school
new middle school/high school for 1500 students
The new elementary school's estimated cost is $14-million
the middle school/high school would cost approximately $28-million.
That's TAXPAYER DOLLARS, FOLKS!!!

What is WRONG with this picture? Has our school board gone MAD?

If they feel that compelled to educate the children of illegal aliens, then give them the 50 year old school while the children of Legal Taxpayers get the new digs!

Otherwise, putting two, brand-spanking new 'dual-language' schools in Hall is like erecting two giant, sized illegal immigration magnets in our county.

Thanks a freakin' lot.

**ACTION ALERT**

This week, I would like to bombard our local newspapers, radio and the Hall County School Board.

I would like to see a confirmation from every person that has written these people and told them that the children of LEGAL, AMERICAN CITIZENS deserve BETTER.

IF Hall County is going to build new schools, the children of LEGAL, AMERICAN TAXPAYERS should go there - NOT the children of ILLEGAL ALIEN PARASITES.
