It's federal law. Do you think it would be better for MCPS to disregard federal law? Do you think it would be better if undocumented children didn't attend school? Can you explain how this is relevant to the MCPS dental health form?

NP - The point is that kids are routinely enrolled in MCPS with NO documentation.  But citizens are required to comply with numerous requirements for information outside the mission of the school district.

It is a common tactic in public health (my field) to use universal requirements like this to ensure compliance by a small, at-risk population.  It is fine for people to push back.  A one-time dental form will do nothing anyway.  At least if you are going to do it, go full on with the annual form like DCPS.  My MD son was a student at a DC private and it was a major pain, but it ensures the kids see a dentist.[/quote]

They all have some kind of documentation.  Stop making up stuff.[/quote]

People seem to think that "undocumented" means "without any documentation of any papers of any kind whatsoever," rather than "without documentation of authorized presence in the country".[/quote]
