% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Does give one pause to ponder where are all the “christian” churches in America? Why are they staying in their taxpayer shelters- – shying from their Christian obligation by avoiding the wrath of the government you think. If the churches won’t school, then the people must.If you’re paying for services not provided through taxation, you need to stop. If you’re being taxed also by your state for cleaning up the federal govt precipitated by not halting the immigrant invasion, then your state should withhold those taxes from DC, too. And, when it grows to the point whereby no American wants to pay even federal taxes for a job not even poorly done, then…….well.

Homeless shelter in Fort Worth, Texas

For hundreds of thousands of students in the United States, their school day begins waking up in a homeless shelter, in a motel, or on the street.

It is estimated that about 300,000 American children in the 2012-2013 school year were living under these conditions while attending school, according to a new report (Education for Homeless Children and Youth) from the Department of Education. A breakdown of homeless conditions revealed 192,391 were in shelters, 70,458 were in hotels or motels, and 41,635 were without shelter of any kind.

Overall, 1.3 million students were classified as homeless, a record total, the report says. That was 8% more than during the previous school year and an 18% increase since the 2010-2011 school year. The vast majority of them (936,441) were “doubled-up,” living in the homes of friends or relatives. Nearly 76,000 homeless students lived on their own.

“The new data means that a record number of kids in our schools and communities are spending restless nights in bed-bug infested motels and falling more behind in school by the day because they’re too tired and hungry to concentrate,” Bruce Lesley, president of the First Focus Campaign for Children, said in a statement.
