But yeah…keep telling me that the schools are underfunded. Tell me again when you get your property tax estimates in a couple of weeks.
You might remember Keith McBurnett. I wrote about him a while back:
Well, that was then. This is from 2022:
THIS bullshit is why we desperately need school vouchers. The corrupt teachers unions and make-work Nerf job holders like McBurnett and Rascoe are strongly against that, of course. That’s because they are slugs who are afraid to compete in a free market for education. The free market would quickly eliminate overpaid bullshit positions like this and money would flow to the best teachers while the dogshit teachers got fired and ended up bagging groceries at HEB.
The schools are broke??? Hardly.
In March 2021 the federal government sent $112 billion out to 14,000 districts with almost no strings attached. The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief, or ESSER, funding came on top of another $60 billion from two earlier waves of pandemic relief dollars for schools (in sum, roughly three times the annual federal investment). Never before had schools seen anything like it.
To say school districts were (and still are) flush with cash is an understatement. District leaders have more money at their disposal than ever before.
You want to know how I know vouchers are an awesome idea that would definitely work? Because the biggest moron in town is against them. He’s wrong about everything else and he’s wrong about this too…
