Personally I would go a step further and give it back to the local communities.

That's always the motivation with democrats and unions, along with making those dependent on handouts as many as possible.

"...murder, mahem, rape..."

The teachers don't teach anything except marxism, the police are only good for drawing the chalk line around your dead body, the firemen...well, we do need them.

I say "Bring It On!"

Imagine how many people they would have added to the public payroll if a hiring freeze had not been in effect...

Why should the feds fund state public unions anyway? Oh, wait; I know - it’s to buy votes for the Obozo.

I am sick of hearing about stupid teachers, as if they are saints or something. Most of them (in the blue states) are overpaid union hacks who get the easiest college degrees in existence, and then indoctrinate kids with liberal bullshit. Our education system is made WORSE when you hire more of these mind-numbed robots for the welfare state. FIRE MORE TEACHERS!

***

Just a personal anecdoante, but we pulled our special needs son out of the public schools three years ago when he was 7. They could produce no evidence that he was learning to read or able to do any sort of math. They would literally give him awards for “good handwriting” (his handwriting STUNK) and have him memorize reading passages to “show off” to me when I’d come in.

After a year at a private school, and 1.5 years of homeschooling, he’s now reading at almost grade level, is finally learning all his math facts and basically is catching up to almost grade level in terms of language arts, handwriting, spelling, etc.

I didn’t need those teachers. They strutted around in their fancy outfits all day, looking down at us, pushing paperwork at us w/ their ridiculous IEP process. My son actually has PROMISE now — and we as parents have actual hope that he might just attend college someday. He’s actually VERY smart — just needs a good curriculum and to stop being pulled out of class 100 times a day in the name of “inclusion.”

“The crime rate in Detroit is also down despite fewer police.”

That’s probably because the criminals have moved on to greener pastures,,, like Flint.

They always knew the bill would fail. Nobody cosponsored the bill. Reid introduced it “per request”. The purpose of the bill is to provide a campaign talking point against the GOP as cold-hearted obstructionists.

And one of the female, mush for brains commentators, was gleefully reporting how this is going to really, really be good for the wonderful Demoncrats and how it was going to be really, really bad for the old mean Republicans. They don’t have a clue about the attitude of those of us in “fly over country.”
