Okay, I've been fussing around with the MPR post because I had found a Minnesota article on the DREAM Act, which I thought was good to read and then I found some more information about the DREAM Act and thought that it shouldn't be tacked on to my MPR post, just like it shouldn't be tacked onto the "Don't ask don't tell" bill.
While doing a quick search for the MPR audio clip on Waiting for Superman, I came across this interesting article on the issues illegal immigrant children in Minnesota (or, undocumented) face in getting education. The first part of the article focuses on a boy who was an active participant in his high school but didn't know how to filter into a university system with his friends. Here's the link: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/09/20/dream-act/
There's also a national article on the DREAM Act in the New York Times here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/us/politics/21immig.html?_r=1&ref=education
And an article by Education Weekly outlining how the DREAM Act died today with the defense bill here:
http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2010/09/21/377133bcusimmigrationdremct_ap.html
What this last article failed to describe to me is why the DREAM Act was tacked onto "don't ask don't tell" - what do undocumented students seeking education and bisexual militia have in common? Can anyone enlighten me?
