Burning down the school

Reagan took a hatchet to public education, and that hatchet has been passed from one Republican hand to another. Until now. Trump has dispensed with the hatchet by hiring someone with an industrial size chainsaw.

That when Republicans and phony Christians see school buses they don't see the children, but rather, dollar signs in those bus seats. They are ate up with greed.

They'll keep the system running...how else could they legally siphon into their filthy pockets all those deliciously evil government education dollars?

The children won't have the proper environment, guidance, or technology to learn anything, but hey...we'll all get stinkin' rich!
