WRAL: 19,000 Students absent yesterday in Wake County Public Schools

12% absent, I believe, so more than normal but a lower percentage than Charlotte.

---

It's interesting that folks are assuming that any additional absences outside the normal must be illegals. Given that ICE has been regularly snatching people off the street without a warrant based solely on their skin tone, I can't imagine any legal citizen with brown skin feeling good about sending their kids to school with masked yahoos swarming around looking to fill their quotas.

Mulitple vendors of mine told me the same thing as they called out the last couple of days.

Most of their guys are green carded or birthright but it's just inviting trouble to get pulled by ICE, especially if they have undocumented family at home.

Is there a bigger dumba$$ in congress than this clown? So stupid

Tisn't like they were getting an education or anything so it's a wash.

---

Yeah my wife's a longtime public school science teacher that's now in administration so I'm not going to pile on educators.

That's a really important, hard, thankless job and a very high proportion of teachers are in it for the right reasons and doing the best they can with the limited tools and resources they have.

---

I'm not really giving teachers a hard time, either, it's just that I get the sense that things never really recovered from the botched attempts at remote learning 3-4 years ago. Maybe not, it's just anecdotal stuff I've heard.

I'll bet the quality of student and educator experiences are substantially improved with English speaking students and a classroom of 15-18 American kids makes more sense all the way around. Better classroom communication and success realized by the children of tax paying American citizens.

---

Yup

Traffic in Charlotte = Classroom sizes in Charlotte
........maybe the schools can afford to purchase classroom supplies for 15-18 American kids/class instead of 30-35 that includes the children of illegals.

Lol, sorry, ICE isn't "law enforcement". It's a bunch of MAGA a-holes in masks cosplaying as secret police who lack the skill and/or character to ever be a part of actual law enforcement (a.k.a. the guys who don't wear masks).

Williamson, known as one of California's toughest political insiders who previously worked as chief of staff to Newsom, was arrested last week on federal charges that allege she siphoned $225,000 out of 2026 gubernatorial hopeful Xavier Becerra's dormant state campaign account. She also was accused of spending $1 million on luxury handbags and high-flying travel and illegally declaring them as business expenses on her tax returns.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are up NEXT to be arrested as they keep avoiding deposition subpoenas related to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.

If they come in and lie on record under oath, they go to prison.

If they come in and tell the truth, they go to prison.

Lol, what is there to say? Trump had a massive mutiny in congress, and since he's desperate to not look like the lame duck that he is, he pretended he was all for it at the last sec. Of course at that point he could have just said "forget the legislation" and just ordered the Justice Dept to fully release the files, but he didn't for some reason.

Anyway, if you think the Epstein Files are actually going to be released you're high. The Justice Dept will most likely pretend there are "ongoing investigations" or pull some other pretext out of their butts to comply as little as possible. At minimum, it would be truly surprising if any Republicans in the files, never mind Trump, aren't redacted/omitted to protect national security or something. And the legislation requires omitting any pics, so I guess we'll never get to see the photo of Trump blowing "Bubba", whoever that is.

I think it's demonstrable that kids who went through virtual learning during Covid were set back, for sure, especially at certain ages. Seemed to affect my then-middle school son more than my elementary school daughter.

I don't think that circumstance should be an indictment of educators, though; that was on the policy makers.

And while students were set back, I don't get the sense the public educational system itself is consequentially worse today than it was before Covid, at least not for any reasons that relate to Covid.

It's so much fun to watch President Trump dunk on them again and again and again.

The biggest anti-Trump narratives just went up in flames over the course of the last 24 hours.

The “Trump is owned by Israel”-crowd just watched Trump create a military alliance with Saudi Arabia. How does that add up?

This is becoming evident with the school absentee numbers. What a drain on the system.

Going to be honest, if the number of absentee's from WCPSS yesterday are accurate, it really grinds my gears considering how much my property tax has been raised the last 9 years (roughly 114% over that time) and a solid chunk of that is going to pay for public education for illegals.

---

I didn't see Wake County data from yesterday.

Saw Charlotte had ballooned from the typical 8%-9% absent rate up to 16% on Monday. Was Wake's similar?

Not sure what gets your goat the most, but I'd guess a high percentage of the kids absent are birthright citizens even if they have undocumented family members. And what's the alternative to educating kids that are here? The societal cost of them being uneducated is higher than the cost of educating them.

Limit illegal immigration however we see fit, but if kids (illegal or not) are sitting in a house down in Clayton, our society is better off with those kids getting an education and the opportunities/counter-incentives to crime and other drains on safety and resources that come with a more educated, contributory populace.

We had three vendor company owners call yesterday to either say they wouldn't be on site or they'd be short-staffed (framers, painters, siding guys). Owners are legal/documented and most of their guys are too. They said their guys were scared though because many have undocumented parents or grandparents or cousins at home and are scared of them getting pulled into the machine.

---

An "education" that teaches them America bad. Everyone is a victim. Stolen land. White people bad. Ghey/Trans are so brave. Math is racist…etc. AND the tax payers get to pay for it?! Yay!

That's a problem regardless of the amount of illegals in the class room.

Civ, I agree… teaching is a thankless job. That said, the resources being provided need to be prioritized. I see my wife doing certain training that is completely a joke. Some, according to her are good. Now, some brilliant person made a decision to bring in equity sticks, for Teachers to use, when engaging students. That's a joke! In fact, most of the teachers, as I understand things, don't use that resource.

So, yes, I agree with your sentiment; however, I believe we have waste that can utilized to proper support teachers with better resources. All, at the same time when we've cut (Wake County) resources on special needs kids and they get put in general population teaching. It's not good for the special needs kids and it's not good for the rest of the classroom.

Google AI response:

ICE most commonly stands for
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal law enforcement agency that enforces U.S. immigration and customs laws to protect national security and public safety. It was formed in 2003 by merging the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

• Mission: To protect America from cross-border crime and illegal immigration that threaten national security and public safety.
• Key functions: Enforces more than 400 federal statutes and is responsible for detaining, deporting, and convicting unauthorized immigrants. It also conducts criminal investigations related to customs violations, terrorism, and trafficking.
• Structure: Part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with operational directorates like Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
• Note: ICE is different from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CBP focuses on border security, while ICE handles enforcement within the U.S. interior.
