North Carolina Republicans vote to cut funding from School Districts that voted Dem.

I'm so glad I don't live in North Carolina. It's making every other place look sensible with all the insane things their government has been doing lately. Cutting funding to needy schools purely on the basis of political bullshittery is... well probably sadly not a new low for the Republican Party.

They're willing to cut funding for schools and nutritious food for disadvantaged children for political payback.

As I recall, there is a general inverse correlation between funding and achievement.
So why are we complaining about this again ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You'd think if they really thought going republican was the smart answer, they'd want those dem voters to be more educated. Not less.

I think we're both giving the Rethugs too much credit.

Because you're wrong. There's no inverse correlation between funding and achievement, and suggesting there is would be dumb. Especially because you can't keep good teachers with poor funding. Not to mention equipment and training.

I note school spending was at a historical maximum in 2016 and look what happened 11/8
