[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immigrant parents and those with children who are POC, prepare them for how to stay safe and get reunited with you afterwards. Consider sending your kids to school with photocopies of their BC or passport. And if your kids are too little to remember important info, get them an ID bracelet. Give older kids an ACLU card that tells them what they don’t have to do if questioned by LEOs.

Even if your kid is White or White-presenting, they will be emotionally impacted.

My school is suspending rollout of our cellphone lock up system in response to the anticipated ICE raids in our region. Parents won’t send their kids if they have no way to reach them if a raid starts. [/quote]

So ya’ll are stopping a program rollout that benefits that entire school community because of fear of something that isn’t guaranteed to happened?[/quote]

It doesn’t benefit the whole community if it puts some kids at risk.

I make my kids wear seatbelts and look both ways when cross the street because of something that isn’t guaranteed to happen.  It’s a bare minimum for decent parenting.[/quote]

Reducing cell phone use in schools and this distraction and disruption at school does benefit the entire school community.  That in and of itself is not putting kids at risk of ICE raids or missing school.  Parent decisions are doing the later.  Why would we stop rollout of a program intended to benefit EDUCATION because we are worried some [i]might[/i] not send their kids to school, the place of education.  Education is the primary purpose of the school and school district.

Because even non-immigrant parents worry about the physical and emotional safety of their children in the event of something as chaotic as armed men dragging classmates out of their school building. If you wouldn’t want to reach your child or your child wouldn’t want to reach you, your family is dysfunctional.[/quote]

If you think calling or texting your child on a cell phone is going to be what prevents them from being rounded up and deported by ICE, you're delusional.[/quote]
