America - perhaps I should specify further, by saying two biggest priorities I mean that they receive the vast majority of the federal budget as well as the vast majority of federal attention in a non-fiscal manner.


I had to go to another board to get this for you. Consider it carefully and you'll see what you are up against.

Quote:Leander has already eliminated golf and tennis. What if football is next?

"I'd spend a thousand bucks out of pocket myself to make sure it'd stay," says Ross Briton, whose son plays football. "I'd work two jobs if it took that to do it. End of story."

Briton says it's not just a sport here: It's part of the culture and a big part of the community's identity. The district should pare down the curriculum before it cuts football, he says.

"I would cut most liberal arts out of the high school. I'd keep math, science, reading. I'd add the vocational education back, because I think there's too much fluff," Briton says.
