Aid and abet: Albemarle County schools pushes deportation resistance seminar

Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) is at it again.

Long-exposed as a left-wing propaganda disseminator, ACPS has now officially joined the anti-Trump resistance. To wit, a recent email send out by the schools encourages parents to attend a seminar entitled, Empowering Families: Power of Attorney Workshop

The event is billed as a way to “Prepare for unforeseen circumstances involving immigration enforcement” and is sponsored by the anti-immigration-enforcement organizations, Sin Barreras, Legal Aid Justice Center, ACLU-VA, and Cruz Law PLLC.

While non-governmental organizations are completely within their rights to host such a politically based forum, ACPS, under the direction of Superintendent Matt Haas, should not be using taxpayer dollars to promote it.
