Localmom, congratulations on your education major. I'm not sure how that has anything to do with the position that the victims here have stated, but maybe juris prudence would do you better service. Also, is there a statute of limitations on tyranny? So as long as Bin Laden has been committing crimes since say, oh, 1990, it's OK?
Coaliesquirrel, you make a good point. Maybe the next time I spend my money on something, lets say athletic gear, one of life's necessities, and I need a $1000, maybe I can go over to Jason's house and take it (by the way, that's sarcasm). As I explained previously, the district has no more authority to do this than do I. Both of us would be equally immoral and unlawful.
And for all of you suggesting that we are being petty, and being that you care so much about the children, why don't you volunteer to pay these fees? It's a win/win/win situation. I don't have to care about the tyranny, the district gets the money it wants, and you feel better about doing such a great thing for a child.
Since when has a school district had the authority to levy taxes? Isn't that the function of the county, state and federal goverments? School districts can ask for a school bond vote to increase property taxes but cannot force individuals to pay fees for a PUBLIC EDUCATION. And since we did not elect school board members with the understanding that they have such authority, it is tyranny. Furthermore, if such authority existed, they would collect these taxes in the same manner that legitimate authorities do...by seizing property and imprisonment. In turning to a collection agency, it is a confession of this conclusion. A collection agency can only legally collect from one party when both parties made a financial contract. No such contract was made. If the school district says that a contract was made at enrollment, are they going to deny a child an education because his/her parents see the double taxation and violation of rights? Any attorney's reading this? Sign me up for the class action lawuit please.
Fees cause frustration with district parents
