[quote=Anonymous]So, I am looking around facebook, I see myself as a more 'modern' mom, and I have a facebook. I have some other parents on it, I use it mostly to catch up with people who I am friends with, but don't get to talk to much in RL. Mostly these are parents of my son's or daughter's friends who over the years I have gotten to know and befriended. Now, My daughter just graduated from high school, and on several of my facebook's friend's walls they had made posts about how proud they were of their kids, yadda yadda, normal stuff. One though stood out to me. It was from a parent of someone who used to be friends with my daughter, but they went to a difforent school, and grew apart. Now, their school was graduating it's first class of seniors (it is a charter), and in this women's post, along with the normal stuff, she wrote that "I'm so proud of the school, they educated all of these young men and women, several of whom were the first in their family to get a high school diploma, A number of whom are undocumented, and all of whom have such great potential."

I would point out one of those things: "A number of them are undocumented". So now it's a good thing that the school is graduating students who ILLEGALLY entered the country? Really? Also, if it is so clear the parents know that some of the students are illegal, shouldn't it be clear enough that the administration would know? And if the parents had known, shouldn't they have reported them?

I say this as someone whose parents entered the country legally, waiting until they could, and proved themselves. My parents had to go through a lot of shit to enter the country, and had to wait a long time, before they got their chance. It is disrespectful to those people that actually put in the effort to legally enter the country that schools turn a blind eye on stuff like this. If you don't think they do, let me tell you... My Son is currently 16. When he was in third grade, a little girl in his class came in with a story for sharing. She told how her and her mom illegally snuck across the US border, with many details. Now this wasn't just to a few kids, this was in front of two teachers. She stayed in school, and in the country, until we left the school after 5th grade. Afterwards, my son came home all excited about how he and "A" (this girl) both had family members who came to this country, and I had to explain how it was different and "A" had taken advantage of a faulty system and was in a lot of trouble.

It's gotten to the point where someone is "proud" that the school her son was just graduating from harbored illegal aliens. It's depressing, and ridicules how bad it's become.[/quote]
