Quote:I am sure handing out 250 mil to NBA owners had nothing to do with the 250 mil taken from the university. 

 

It's not like he just hit the higher education, he carried it down to k-12 as well

 

"A majority of public school districts in Wisconsin will receive less funding this year, and no school district’s state funding will keep up to inflation. At the same time, the budget expands taxpayer support of private voucher schools, which are overwhelmingly religious schools and which are subject to minimal public oversight. (For instance, voucher schools do not have to follow the state’s law prohibiting discrimination against students on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, marital or pregnancy status. Nor are they subject to the state’s open meetings and records requirements.)"

 

Under funding public schools and diverting public funding to private schools. Nothing could ever go wrong in the private sector right? There will be no discrimination there I am sure. 

 

this is another problem.  In this thread to varying degrees we have all come to the consensus that at current the first 13-15 years that we have a child in the current education system are pretty much worthless in terms of developing a marketable skill set?  At what point do we as a common sense society decide to stop wasting these kids time and billions upon billions of dollars feeding this system that we all agree is dysfunctional?  I trust parents making choices with their kids futures more than giving local schools non-negotiable monopolies.
