This weekend, students and school board members from our district are flying down there to make their case for schools to be adequately funded. Due to their isolation, our representatives and governor have been able to get away with criminally neglecting our educational system. It's a bald-faced attempt to dismantle our public education system by people who are desperately lacking in their own education. However, instead of a car trip (if a long one) there, our delegation has to spend a considerable sum to fly and lodge there.
It's time for our government to move both on properly funding public education and to a physically more accessible location for the vast majority of the populace.
