@lovelylovely wtf!? So if we can't vote we don't need to pay local taxes to help the schools too then right? And public parks that kids use? Teachers that have a direct impact on a child's life but no kids of their own don't get to vote either? I'm so confused how anyone would think this makes sense.

@CaffeinatedKayla @lovelylovely I have heard some political analysis on NPR where they say that this is one reason that it's so hard to pass school levies. Many voters either have no children or are sending their kids to private schools, religious or otherwise. The logic here is that they derive no real benefit from public schools, so why should they have to support them? It's warped. And the state where I live has a screwy setup about dispersal of state funding (Ohio) so it's a real catch 22

@Wolleysegap @lovelylovely @CaffeinatedKayla this is a problem in our school dist. and our state…we have a large number of ret. people who vote no to any levies for the schools. Their kids are grown, and they are retired, so they don’t want property taxes to go up any more. Now with the FuckSander’s new vouchers for private schools, the small school districts are doomed while the private Christian schools will grow. This has been the goal of the GQP for years.

It's very bizarre thinking making no sense.

@lovelylovely @johnettesnuggs @CaffeinatedKayla There are people who do not see that education is key to growing the local economy. They have theirs, and others never get any, tough luck. They would literally rather build new prisons than new schools

@Wolleysegap @lovelylovely @CaffeinatedKayla these are the people who still don’t like brown people being educated, or women for that matter.
