Talk about ingratitude!

Now, not only must we educate illegal aliens and refugees at taxpayer expense, but we must also do it where they want it done.

The Dallas Independent School District has decided to move all the older students (those ages 20-25) to one campus. Nirmala Dangal will be a high school senior this year. She is 21 years old. She is a refugee from Nepal. She doesn't like that idea. She says she may drop out of school, because she likes the school she's currently attending.

The idea of separating the older students was born out of concern for younger students. Would you want your 14-year-old freshman daughter sitting in the classroom with a 22-year-old man? Think about it -- if the man is 22 and hasn't yet finished high school, doesn't that tell you that he had some kind of a problem in his teen years? How do we know what that problem was and whether or not he is a danger to a young girl?

Back to Nirmala. Bob Mezger, the Dallas-area director for Refugee Services of Texas, says that "refugees like to stay within their comfort zones in their new communities." Nirmala's father doesn't want her attending school across town. Well, Mr. Dangel, I guess if you don't like that you could go back to Nepal and that refugee camp you spent 18 years in. Maybe you'd be more "comfortable" there. Honestly, the ingratitude of some people!
