Education is a black hole just like the government. Ever sucking more and more of our tax dollars and producing less and less.'course somebody's gotta pay for all the whatever-centric programs and the diversity programs and the "How to enjoy being a faggot" programs.
Hmmm... interesting... NONE of those programs have anything to do with why the kids are there: readin', writin' and 'rithmetric.
About 3 years ago we had a weird little dust-up here in Glynn county.
First, the school board "discovered" that about 7 million dollars was "missing" from its funds. Funds that had been hugely bloated by a SPLOST- special local option sales tax, which raised ( I had a typo "raided"- how revealing! ) out taxes for 3% to 6%.....
Second, the figure just kept growing... to 8, then 9, then 11 million.....
And then, the Superintendent, who had the responsiblity for all this, went into the hospital and died there....
Despite calls, letters, and demands to the local & state-level politicians, and Grand Jury "investigations," nothing much has been found, or done.
