Thanks to the flood of illegals invading our border, the left’s America Last mindset is on full display, and it’s astonishingly self-destructive. In fact, it’s exactly like that piece of artwork where a guy is watering the very plant that’s causing his demise.
The most recent outrageous action by the self-loathing left is the displacement of disabled kids from their school to make room for illegals. This decision, announced by officials in New Hanover County, has sparked widespread outrage in the community. Again, another American last move from the Party of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Like many other New Hanover County citizens, I was blindsided when New Hanover County Schools Superintendent Dr. Charles Foust and his administrative staff made a sudden announcement immediately after last Thanksgiving that the Career Readiness Academy at Mosley (commonly called “Mosley”) is being closed and the students enrolled there will be forced to transfer to other schools throughout the county.
Then last Wednesday, at a joint meeting between the New Hanover County Commission (of which I am a member) and the NHC Board of Education, Dr. Foust acknowledged, after I asked him, that one of the possibilities following Mosley’s closure would be to replace it with a “newcomers school.” I want to make it very clear, as a New Hanover County commissioner, that I want no part of either proposal. I write to express my full support for keeping Mosley open for all its enrolled students as well as my full opposition to opening up a newcomers school in Mosley’s place or anywhere elsewhere in our County.
Mosley is a one-of-a-kind public school in New Hanover County that offers custom-tailored education to local students who require special learning. Newcomers schools may be called schools, but they are more akin to migrant resettlement and assimilation facilities. The purported mission of these facilities is not to educate students in the traditional sense but to allegedly help entire immigrant and refugee families integrate into the local community where they are relocated. Such facilities certainly aren’t anything like Mosley and would be an entirely new type of institution run by our county’s education system.
My view on all this is straightforward. New Hanover County Schools should prioritize one thing above all: the students who live in New Hanover County and attend our schools. The undeniable truth is that a newcomers school is outside the purview of our education system and would rapidly become a magnet to migrant families from outside of the county. My concerns about a newcomers school becoming such a magnet are not imagined or unwarranted. They are very real.
New York City pulled a similar anti-American stunt, closing down a school to provide space for illegals. Essentially, American students were told to take a hike so their school could be transformed into a makeshift hotel for criminals.
Shocking new footage has revealed hundreds of asylum seekers sleeping on the floor of a Brooklyn school auditorium – after kids were kicked out of their classrooms so that 2,000 migrants could move in.
The students of James Madison High School in Brooklyn were forced to learn from home today after a last-minute decision to allow the migrants – from the southern border – to sleep inside the school because of harsh weather conditions outside.
The decision allowed 2,000 migrants to move from their shelter to the school, over fears the storm plaguing New York City on Tuesday night would flood their tents.
You get what you vote for.
However, Democrats aren’t the only ones to blame. Conservatives also bear some responsibility. We’re often so engrossed in national politics that we ignore what’s happening in our own backyards. While we’re distracted, radical, woke leftists are quietly gaining influential positions, especially in education. By the time we catch on, it’s often already too late to reverse the tide. We’ve got to shift gears and become deeply involved in the grassroots activities of our communities. We must understand and influence what’s happening at the ground level, or we’ll never get a leg up on this America Last agenda.
