Snips:

"For one thing, they are kicking tens of thousands of kids out of Head Start. Yes, because of the Sequester, over 57,000 mostly poor kids are now losing education, shelter, and meals. So, the “Republicans” are against pre-school education. (Unless you are rich, white and Right, of course.)

Across the country, they are pushing “school choice” programs: these are designed to steal taxpayer money and enrich private businesses. However, they often result in such s**** education, some parents are suing to stop the practice. Mostly, it’s poor kids who get the shaft. So now we see that the “Republicans” are against K-12 education. (Unless you are rich, white and Right, of course.)"

"Mind, “Republicans" despise anything based on actual facts, so their antipathy towards education (which is all about facts) is understandable, if idiotic. But then, if you’re rich, white and Right, you likely think you already know everything, so why would you need an education?"
