As California was going to pot, San Diego was one of the few areas left that wasn’t that bad in the state. But even that appears to be over and done with. San Diego will prioritize “unaccompanied migrant children” ahead of American children for in-person learning.
As if California hadn’t long since cemented its status as the most tone-deaf, irresponsibly liberal enclave in the nation, the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) last week announced it will be “providing the educational program for the unaccompanied migrant children” (emphasis added) staying at the San Diego Convention Center.
At least the Golden State is overachieving at something.
Using volunteer teachers, the plan is to instruct the youngsters in English language development and something called “social-emotional learning opportunities” (no doubt including the standard leftist indoctrination and a comprehensive overview of the myriad free products and services available to anyone able to shimmy over or under border fences erected specifically to keep them out).
And all of this will happen face to face. In a classroom. COVID be damned.
Meanwhile, the district’s 130,000 regular students — whose parents have the misfortune to live in this country legally and pay the taxes which fund its education system — continue to languish at home trying to educate themselves with a laptop computer as the union representing their teachers continues to wrangle with California’s governor over how many concessions will be needed to make them agree with the opinion of the federal Centers for Disease Control that it’s long past time to end prohibitions on in-class learning.
