- Debtbust, on 11/14/2008, -1/+17Typical Educators - they think they are above the law, and that the rules do not apply to them. Each person involved should be arrested!
- 7papa7, on 11/14/2008, -3/+16Every single person involved in this needs to be fired and criminal prosecution brought. They need to be made an example of. The school needs to be fined and part of their budget now should be forced to go to hire someone who will have oversight and insure that this never happens again. I am sure that this will be buried by the law because they have no problem bringing in illegals.
- DanThePainter, on 11/14/2008, -2/+12Ed Morrissey at HotAir comments: >...First, I love the headline on this article: “Dallas ISD faulted for using fake Social Security numbers”. Er, faulted? Social Security fraud is a felony, not a policy disagreement. For that matter, why didn’t the Texas Education Agency report the practice to law enforcement? Their silence arguably makes them accessories to the crime.
The fraud occurred in DISD’s “alternative certification system”, a process by which schools can bypass Texas certification requirements for specific needs. One of those needs is apparently bilingual education. Instead of hiring qualified teachers with American citizenship or legitimate residency, DISD recruited people from Mexico and encouraged them to work illegally in Dallas. Had they wanted them to work legally, they wouldn’t have created a process for falsifying Social Security numbers....>> more >>

- Christianptriot, on 11/14/2008, -1/+10This won't even make it to the front page of most newspapers OR the MSM. This is a step that helps illegal immigrants - probably allows the school district to pay them less as well - and so the liberal mentality that puts our Border patrol agents in jail for doing their jobs will give these folks a pass - and probably an award or bonus to boot.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -3/+12We are in the process of losing our country on many fronts. American patriots must stand up and be counted, regardless of personal risk, or it will simply be too late.
Probably a full 3/4 of the population of this country do not want it "fundamentally transformed" in all the ways the Left is promising, now that they have near unfettered control of the government machine. Yet that silent majority is standing by while the very essence of what made America great is being undermined from within.
Border control is key, but there are an ever increasing number of keys. - isamuelson, on 11/14/2008, -1/+9But will this make it to the front page of Digg?
Probably not. - keltin, on 11/15/2008, -0/+5If you live in that school district, you should start organizing and demonstrating to get those anti-American administrators and educators out of there! Stop paying their salaries with your tax money. It is absolutely illegal and sometimes the sheriff and attorney general are in bed with the bad guys.
I hope this isn't one of those times. If it is, you've got to go to go to the next level to get it solved. - KDX200rider, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3This is outrageous, immigration was an issue that got very little attention during the last election. Something needs to be done.
- inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3It will be too late before you people wake up.
"The end of the republic saw a revolution not only in political but in moral and even religious manners. By the first century B.C., sexual mores had been abandoned, and the former sanctity of marriage forgotten. Crime, once almost unknown in Rome, became rampant. In such an environment, Rome became an easy target for political conspiracies like that of Catiline, which exploited the criminal elements in Rome to carry out bribery, blackmail, and assassination.
More ominously still, the bucolic simplicity of authentic Roman religion was gradually contaminated by a monstrous cult from the east, the Persian mystery religion of Mithra that, by the late second century A.D., had permeated every level of Roman society. This cult was in fact a vast secret society consecrated to emperor-worship and to the amoral doctrine of radical dualism--the idea that good and evil are eternal, absolutely equivalent principles that must both be appeased. It was apparently introduced into Rome in the first century B.C. by the Cilician pirates and spread through the ranks of political officialdom and the military, claiming as adherents emperors like Comodus, Aurelian, Diocletian, and Julian.
Fortunately for Western civilization, Christianity eventually eclipsed Mithraism, breathing new life into decrepit imperial Rome. Rome's successor civilization in the East, Byzantium, was sustained for more than a thousand years by the Christian piety of her citizens and more capable rulers, despite ceaseless assaults by barbarian nations and an irremediably weak system of law and government."
This is not a new idea. There is always an etiology to the decline of a civilization... overextending the military was just a side note, not the root.

How about, "Dallas school district caught using identity theft to expedite hiring of illegal aliens?" - inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3Thanks Keltin :-)... We have to be steadfast in preserving history, because the left is trying their damnedest to pervert history in order to validate their agenda... it was a good read though ;-).
- keltin, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3Aud, I love you! A fantastic read and you nailed it, head on. He was barking up the Leftist tree trying to pull a fast one with that BS about an extended military. When a society rots from within, that's the real death knell.
Also, I learned a thing or two that I looked up to get more info on.
Congrats. - inactive, on 11/14/2008, -2/+4Yes I guess to someone who doesn't have the ability to reason, his ideas would seem a bit scary.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -2/+4It's a fricken joke, he got banned for being an opinionated conservative. I have had someone insinuate I have an std on this thing, and call me names that would make Richard Pryor blush, and you know what-diggstapo didn't do a DAMN thing... why- because their ass-backwards ideology adhered to the people that were 'abusing' me on this thing... so don't give me that ***** that he got banned for being abusive- if that were the case half of digg would be gone- and oh yeah If I'm gone tomorrow we'll know why.
- inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2This article is posted on the dallasnews.com website. This is The Dallas Morning News newspapers website.
Go to this website and use as a search term "Dallas ISD" Here are some of the headlines you will see:
...Dr. Hinojosa has come under sharp criticism from teachers and some community groups since he announced that the district overspent its budget last year by about $64 million and is facing a deficit this year of $84 million
...DISD already has trimmed 213 non-contract workers and about 200 vacant positions in an effort to eliminate about 1,100 jobs throughout the district
...Day after layoffs, Dallas ISD schools try to get back to normal
...Job fair today for employees recently laid off
...Nearly 600 displaced Dallas ISD teachers attend job fair
...Dallas ISD now needs to hire 60 teachers
...Dallas ISD chief Hinojosa says bilingual teachers 'protected'
...Dallas ISD: Hundreds of new reading workbooks tossed in the trash
...Dallas ISD teacher arrested, accused of using crack
...Former Dallas ISD official Ruben Bohuchot sentenced to 11 years in bribery scheme
...Dallas ISD corruption-fighting unit is cut nearly in half
...Dallas ISD passes new ethics policy amid protests
This may seem like it would be several years worth of headlines about the Dallas ISD. Wrong, it is less than 3 months worth of headlines about the Dallas ISD.
To pot it bluntly, the Dallis ISD is a cesspool of corruption and incompetence. - inactive, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3Obviously you don't have the ability to draw parallels, sociologically and otherwise, between present civilizations and ancient civilizations... If you knew anything, you would realize that Rome proliferated for 250 years and then began to self-destruct, much like the United States (hint a decline in morality was the impetus for their self-destruction).
- inactive, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3Yes look at where 'Social Progress' (if that's what you're calling it these days) got Rome.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -2/+3To stop people like you from making my country unrecognizable. If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting.
- TexasCanuck, on 11/15/2008, -2/+2DEY TOOK OUR JEORBS !!!
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -2/+2I agree, but your picture is scary! :D
- osukwm, on 11/15/2008, -3/+1Turns out, it's actually OUR country, and if I'm outspoken enough, and patient enough, it will move in the direction of social progress, as it always does. Must be good exercise to swim against the current though.
- osukwm, on 11/14/2008, -3/+1damn that diggstapo and their ass-backward ideology.... why are you here again?
- osukwm, on 11/15/2008, -3/+1what a fresh example you have there.
- osukwm, on 11/14/2008, -3/+1His ideas are scarier.
- osukwm, on 11/14/2008, -3/+1Yes, the "I got banned for being abusive on Digg" guy is clearly the reasonable one here. Second only to the "vague generic insult" guy.
- osukwm, on 11/15/2008, -3/+1Rome fell due to overextending its military empire, resulting in financial collapse and regional revolt (hint history is free on the internet). Guess we better reign in that military budget, lest we really DO draw a parallel.
