[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post stinks of "tell on your neighbor".  Yes, everybody should be following rules and proper procedures, but it is up to the county to verify.  Soon we'll have parents stalking children home with the way these threads go.  [/quote]

Not at all. If you live within the boundary of where your kid goes to school, it shouldn't be a very big deal to show evidence that you live there. This isn't hard. [/quote]

Agree! The only people who would be opposed to this are those whose kids shouldn't be there in the first place.

Kind of reminds me of those who oppose voter ID.  It shouldn’t be a problem for those who are actually citizens to obtain an ID.  But according to the left, it’s just a bridge too far to require it.  So arduous (and “racist!!”). They couldn’t *possibly* manage this task.   :roll:

I took my son to get his learner's permit last week. In order to do this I had to take time off work, hop in my car, pick up my son and drive him to the DMV, then pay a fee for the ID. We're fortunate that none of this posed a hardship to our family.

Now imagine a family that doesn't own a car, can't afford to take time off work, and has no room in their budget for that fee. There's no way their teenager is getting that learner's permit since there is no motor vehicle to operate. But shouldn't that teenager have the same right to vote once they turn 18 as my teenager?[/quote]

The DMV provides IDs for $10, can be found on bus routes and are open Mon-Sat. An 18 year old can figure this out.[/quote]
That's this area, sure. What about 18-year-olds who live in rural areas without bus service?[/quote]

Is there a specific part of rural Fairfax county you are concerned about?[/quote]
I'm concerned about areas across the country. PP (maybe it was you, maybe not) brought up people who oppose voter ID and stated "it shouldn't be a problem for those who are actually citizens to obtain an ID." I apologize for responding to an off-topic argument with another off-topic argument.[/quote]
