In the Trump dictatorship public school teachers are paid USD 55,000 a year, while ICE agents are paid USD 100,000.

In Denmark, a public school teacher earns USD 90,000, while the police cadets stopping migrants at the border are paid 51,000.

Priorities ladies and gentlemen.

@randahl by design. An uneducated person is less likely to rebel and question authority. An uneducated populace is easier to control. An uneducated person is more likely to believe whatever the individuals in power tell them.

Thus the reason for their desire to cut funding for programs and cut funding for public education or completely remove it.

@rozodru add fear to the equation and you've nailed it. @randahl
