This is how ridiculous it’s gotten in this country with illegals. The ACLU is suing to ensure the children of illegals get a ‘free’ education like everyone else:

Here’s more:
NJ.COM – Four New Jersey school districts and one charter school have enrollment practices that discriminate against the children of immigrants living in the country illegally, lawsuits filed by the The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey allege.
The districts require parents to produce either a New Jersey drivers license or state ID — documents that unauthorized immigrants won’t have, the ALCU said. That violates a 1982 Supreme Court decision that forbids school districts from excluding children from enrolling based on immigration status, the organization said.
“Especially in our current climate, schoolchildren and their families deserve assurance that their schools will not discriminate against them because of their immigration status,” said Ari Rosmarin, ACLU-NJ’s public policy director. “We cannot stand quietly by and let districts discriminate.”
The lawsuits come after after ACLU-NJ in 2014 discovered that 136 school districts imposed illegal barriers to immigrant student enrollment and wrote letters asking them to comply with the law, the organization said. It issued repeated warnings that such restrictions violate students’ rights, it said.
Two of the schools are making every effort to comply since they received the lawsuit, arguing the lawsuit wasn’t necessary in the first place:
Two of the school districts, however, say the lawsuits are based on a misunderstanding.
John Davis, superintendent of Port Republic School District in Atlantic County, said the suit appears to be based on an outdated page on the district website. That page does not represent what the district requests when parents or guardians seek to enroll their children in the district, he said.
The page was removed as soon as the district received the lawsuit, Davis said.
“It truly is unfortunate that in our small community our severely limited tax payer dollars will have to be spent responding to the lawsuit, when a phone call could have resolved this non-issue,” Davis said.
At Jamesburg School District in Middlesex County a drivers license is one form of ID a parent can provide but is not required for enrollment, Superintendent Brian Betze said. The district will revise its enrollment forms if necessary to make that clear, he said.
“We welcome all students here,” Betze said.
Geez, Liberals really hate photo ID.
As this article points out so well, education is just another benefit illegals get by being in this country and it shouldn’t be so. This shouldn’t even be a lawsuit and it saddens me to see these school districts rushing to comply with the lawsuit.
Every day it’s something else. Transgender bathrooms, illegals attending schools for free, and on and on it goes.
Sometimes it just feels like this country is spiraling out of control.
