[Ernie S.]

the $190K is 0.9% of the budget.

How much of a percentage is the $51 million Brownback cut from their budget?

Not a peep out of most Dems for that. Guess it all depends on whose hand is in the kitty.

I think this is ok, our kids need to learn with less so that we can give tax cuts to the rich and other more important things than education and kids

I think kids and school boards need to learn how to live within their means.

Keep fighting for them kids ya hear, they'll be ditch diggers before you know it. And while you applaud cutting their funding you can also complain about how dumb the kids are almost like one has nothing to do with the other.

Isnt cause and effect great?

We ARE fighting for the kids. We are trying to force school districts to teach instead of indoctrinate. Spend money, but spend it on things that will make graduates attractive to employers.
If I want to hire an engineer OR a burger flipper, I really don't care if he has been taught multiculturalism.
Mostly, I want him to know how to read, write and do math. Oh! and use apostrophes.

be honest - you're not fighting indoctrination, or at least most people aren't - they just want their own indoctrination taught.

Yes, you do. You want multiculturalism in the schools. You want it on the job.

Multiculturalism increases graduation rates.

No. We want our children taught skills that they will need after graduation.
