The post that was quoted here has been removedWas this a fundraising exercise? If so, then it make sense to try and get people to pay. However, here in SA, I think that most schools would make exceptions for children who could prove that they could not afford it.
The schools my son has been to all had a policy with school fees where the poorest parents are exempted and the rest of the parents essentially pay for the poorest. The government also contributes some.
Oh hell.
After school social function that is voluntary and costs a few bucks for people that want to go , people want to cry that it's discrimination.
Just never ends does it?
They get free breakfast and lunch if they are poor, what more do they want?
I suppose next they'll want free graduation year books because they can't afford them.

The post that was quoted here has been removedProgressives don't much like Asians.
FDR locked them up during WW 2 and I think there is a general resentment by Progs that Asian Americans tend to do well in school and are affluent despite being a minority.
Hell, they don't even whine about getting nuked twice by the US and then nuking themselves in Japan.
Also, in Progressive Hollywood you will never find a famous Asian actor, unless they fit some stereotype like Bruce Lee.

Those children have no concept of economics or why they should have to sit inside and listen to their class mates playing and enjoying themselves outside. It really is sickening.
Headline is misleading they weren't banned from anything.
Don't have the money to go to something then you can't go, that's not being banned.
Love the word games libtards play.

You're right it was a pretty crummy thing to do.
Originally posted by C HessDetroit public schools have been requiring parents to send paper and pencils to school with their kids for decades.
