Dallas ISD used Fake Social Security Numbers to Hire Teachers

We constantly hear that the government must continue to fund education. We hear of the No Child Left Behind Act, spending money "for the children," Texas Education Agency guidelines for success, standardized testing, and a countless number of other initiatives to improve education.
What we are hearing about now is as disturbing as all of the alphabet soups of failing programs combined. The Dallas Independent School District hired a number of bilingual teachers in the last couple of years and gave them FALSE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS to hire them! Let me repeat that. The Dallas Independent School District, who's Superintendent makes more money than Governor Perry, who sports an astronomical amount of debt, who has some of the highest dropout rates in Texas, now is also been caught by the Texas Workforce Commission with employees who were given FAKE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS by the school district.

The citizens of Dallas should be embarrassed and ashamed. Not only does our public education system not produce enough skilled workers, but now one of the largest school districts in Texas is caught breaking federal law by falsifying social security numbers. How can we expect our children to abide by the law when our school districts cannot do so themselves?
