My best advice for somebody moving to Allentown is that they should not move to Allentown.

edit to add: some loser keeps trying to reply to me talking about how great Allentown is, but his comment doesn't show unless I look at his profile or in my email, so I'll add this: Allentown is a shithole and the only reason anyone would ever WANT to live there is because they work in Allentown, but even then, they'll probably try to leave ASAP because they will quickly discover that Allentown is indeed a shithole.

Attempting to insult my intelligence or knowledge of Allentown is pointless because despite being German born, I have several generations of ancestors and relatives from ALLLLLLL over the Lehigh Valley. They all agree that Allentown is a shithole which is why all of them left ASAP.

If you really want to live in the Lehigh Valley you should avoid Allentown at all costs unless you live in poverty. I would drive an extra 30 minutes to work if I had to just to avoid living in Allentown. There are plenty of MUCH nicer towns and cities in the Lehigh Valley.

Choosing to die on this hill doesn't help district kids. SVSD will blow $ on this whole "culture war" nonsense that they could have, instead, chosen to spend on the kids. The best that they can hope for is to find a right-wing law group who'll work for them in exchange for the free publicity (which will lessen damages, when they come, but not make them 0...see Kitzmiller v Dover SD).

Maybe ACLU should spend their efforts somewhere else. Like suing someone to change the fact that of kids in the largest school district in the state can't read at grade level?

I thought education was a human right?

Injecting themselves into some situation with a satan club seems like an absurd waste of resources. Kids in Saucon can read.
