More Legal Shenanigans from the Biden Administration’s Department of Education

Among the foremost threats to individual freedom in America is the abusive and oftentimes lawless behavior of federal administrative agencies, whose vast armies of overpaid bureaucrats remain unaccountable for their excesses.

Among the most familiar examples of that bureaucratic abuse is the Department of Education (DOE).  Recall, for instance, the United States Supreme Court’s humiliating rebuke last year of the Biden DOE’s effort to shift hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt from the people who actually owed them onto the backs of American taxpayers.

Even now, despite that rebuke, the Biden DOE launched an alternative scheme last month in an end-around effort to achieve that same result.

Posh Preschool Sued for Failing to Prep Toddler Print
Thursday, March 17 2011

A New York mother is suing her daughter's preschool, calling it "one big playroom" after her daughter was denied enrollment in elite elementary schools.
 
Nicole Imprescia is suing York Avenue Preschool in New York's Upper East Side neighborhood, seeking damages equal to the $19,000 annual tuition Imprescia paid the school during her daughter's enrollment since the age of two.  Imprescia said she heard the school's sales pitch and was hooked by the promise that attendance in the posh preschool would help her daughter on standardized tests used for admission to the city's most competitive public and private kindergartens.  Instead of prepping her daughter, Imprescia claims the school "dumped" her daughter with younger children who were learning shapes and colors.
 
"Indeed, the school proved not to be a school at all, but just one big playroom," according to the lawsuit, which claims Imprescia was deceived and defrauded.  A toddler who takes the wrong first step could ultimately trip up his or her chances for acceptance into an Ivy League college and for earning a higher income, the lawsuit claimed.  "There is tremendous pressure to choose the right preschool," it said.
 
An attorney for Imprescia, Mathew Paulose, Jr., said the child was pulled out of the preschool in October 2010, close to the start of the school year and, therefore, the full tuition should be returned.

"It's a case of theft. They promised certain things but it turned out to be another thing," Paulose said.
 
According to news reports, the lawsuit was filed in the weeks after many elite elementary schools send out their acceptance and rejection letters.
