This bitch is crying that they spend too much on education in the same article that he talks about how edution stats from last year show that students are falling behind. And just to be clear, the budget was 38 billion, and this increase makes it 38.6 billion, a 1.6% increase. Pretty fucking marginal. He's specifically whining that those dollars don't go to police instead.
The majority of that money is going to keep schools funded and open whose enrollment is dipping, because otherwise you have school closures, redistricting, and lost teaching, administrative, service, and maintenance jobs, etc. And that only after months or years of limited resources and worse overall education and opportunities for the students.
That's the thing though. Less education and more police is exactly what these people want. They don't want well-educated poor people. Because well-educated poor people don't vote the way they want them to. They know their rights and they have the intelligence to make informed decisions. And this is terrifying to the elite class in our society. Educated peasants are the most dangerous thing to a feudal land owning group.
This figure from Germany shows it clearly:
It shows voting differences in correlation to the level of education.
Green party | far left party | libertarian party | a new weird split off from the far left party | center left party | center right party | far right party
(Certain) Americans: wait what, seven parties? How do you even remember them all?
Isn’t inflation currently like 4.1%? So this is not even a budgetary increase commensurate with inflation? Clowns.
In fairness, I think the budget itself had already increased this year before this new increase. This is 680 mil on top of the already increased budget.
