OH, THEY'RE JUST SO LIBERAL...UNTIL IT COSTS THEM SOMETHING – AT 11:21 A.M. ET:  This is very juicy, and is so typical of the liberal hypocrisy in places like Beverly Hills.  From The New York Times:

LOS ANGELES — In a contentious meeting ringed by police officers, the Beverly Hills school board voted Tuesday night to dismiss roughly 470 students enrolled in its schools on out-of-district permits.

The school system there has long opened its doors to students who live outside the district — currently about one in seven of its roughly 4,800 students — in large part because they brought a financial windfall for the system. But now, because cash-poor California has reduced local support to schools, including the reimbursements for out-of-district students, the so-called permit students are more of a burden to the schools than a boon.

Beverly Hills will soon use its own property tax dollars to finance its schools to replace money lost from the state. So the board voted to notify most of the out-of-district students that they must go.

“Although I recognize this is an inconvenience, it’s certainly not life or death,” said Steven Fenton, the board president. He added that for those who want to keep their children in the schools, “there are apartments waiting for you tomorrow.”

Gee, how kind and warm.  Those students want a better education, and the libs of Beverly Hills were happy to accommodate them...until the balance sheet changed. 

And get this for inclusionist warmth:

Most of the students now must choose between private schools or their local school under the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is largely troubled. “Go back to your home school to make it better,” Lisa Korbatov, the board’s vice president, admonished parents with children in the Beverly Hills schools on permits. “I don’t understand this entitlement.”

Go back where you came from.  You're not helpful to us any longer.

Beverly Hills is one of those "communities" where liberal elitism flourishes.  You can get an "anti-war" rally together just by standing on a street corner.  And Barack Obama is still a big deal there.

When push comes to shove, they're strictly business, like the people they claim to condemn.
