The Trump administration has put on hold $6.8 billion in federal funds for K-12 schools, according to an Education Department notice obtained by States Newsroom. […] The agency informed states on Monday that it would be withholding funding for several programs, including before- and after-school programs, migrant education and English-language learning, among other initiatives.
Besides the hope that brown and black people would also be harmed, I wonder how the typical conservative voter thinks this kind of thing is going to help them?
Cletus don’t care about no damn book lernin. All Cletus need is Bible.
…which Cletus won’t read either.
Many are older without children in schools anymore and are happy they are not “paying to teach other people’s kids” even though they themselves were the recipients of older Americans paying for them to go through public schools. Others are rich paying to send their kids to private schools or rich enough to pay to send them to religious school so they too are happy to not fund public schools. The last group are poor conservatives that can’t afford private schools and have children in public schools. This group are “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” that aren’t bothered because they’ll be sending their kids to private schools “real soon now”. They are just happen to be invited to the meetings tearing down society and the safety nets that sustain them everyday.
They’re stupid.
That’s how.
They’re stupid because their regional educational system failed them. And that’s why they don’t have the intelligence to understand why underfunding education is a bad thing.
They want the churches to run the schools.
