[quote=Anonymous]The county get tons of illegal immigrants because of their policies. Illegal immigrants with very low education and skills cluster together in low-income areas, so then their kids all go to the same schools. Now all of the sudden there is a 'diversity' problem, because you have too many children of illegal immigrants concentrated at certain schools. The solution now is to bus them into schools where more wealthy parents and citizens send their kids, and to send the wealthier kids into schools where illegal immigrants send their kids. It is an astounding display of entitlement. Just by coming here illegally you deserve to have access to the best schools and slice of the American wealth pie that our own citizens have built up. Get out of here with that nonsense. Maybe the county wouldn't have so many problems with diversity if they didn't keep rolling out the carpet for illegal immigration.

I grew up in DE and went to school there all throughout the 80s and 90s. Busing did very little to solve the education quality in the state. DE schools remain terrible and have tons of problems staying open now because everyone sends their kids to private, vo-tech or charter schools to avoid terrible DE public schools. Take a look at VA, NJ, MD, PA, all the way up to MA. Why are homes sooooooooooo much more expensive everywhere on the East Coast compared to DE, yet DE has amazing location on the Eastern Seaboard? It's because the schools stink. I remember kids having to get up at 5:30 AM just to get bussed to schools instead of being able to walk to the schools closest to them. It wasn't uncommon for people I grew up with to have to be sent to 4 different schools all across the county outside of their original feeder schools. The state had to buy huge fleets of buses that just added to the traffic and wasted tons of gas. It also completely ruined community based schooling and cultures of neighborhoods. People forget, that even some minorities in a city like Wilmington, DE were against bussing because they started to gain power in the local schools and there was a strong sense of community in the neighborhoods when every neighbor could send their kids to the school down the street and everyone would attend the same basketball, baseball, football games and other school events. Bussing ruined all of that. The most ironic part of it all, is that for how much flak Biden got for his stance on busing during this election cycle, DE DID actually revert back to community based schools in 2000 under the Neighborhood Schools Act of 2000, but by then, all of the damage had already been done to DE's public schools system, and the quality decline has persisted to this day. People in DE still send tons of kids to private/charter/vo-tech schools or leave the state all-together once they have kids and move up to PA. The county and state of MD are headed the way of DE.[/quote]
