Just got depressing news from my son's school

[Streetdoc270]

They released the stats today that state 1 in 3 childern in his school live below the poverty line, thats a 10% increase from last year.

(and yes my state is Bush country :mad:)

1. It will get worse

Just wait till they announce that the biology books have been replaced with Genesis chapters 1-3.

4. What do you do the rest of the year?

God dun it, don't take up much time.

[HFishbine]

2. I'm in NC too

What county is this stat from?

[President Jesus]

3. what a surprise...a red state has a 3rd world standard of living

kinda puts the whole "religion is the opiate fo the masses" into stark relief.

5. this is why we need a return to populism

I honestly believe that most agree with this statement:
Let's argue the nuances of morality once we get these kids out of poverty.

6. I feel for yuo

but not for the bush suporters.

I know it may suiond cruel, but this is probably what they need to maybe wake up, and maybe

7. Remind people that the Republicans are in charge

The Republicans have been in charge for more than four years. This is the result of "No Child Left Behind."

Don't forget to give Republicans credit for this kind of thing.

8. ugh

That really sucks.
But hey, at least gays can't marry in 13 states- don't you feel more American and more safe??? :eyes:

9. Just wait.

Then they will call YOU to help fund-raise, work the school and help the teachers because they can't afford assistants. Say NO! Let them deal with it. I know damn good and well that our school district is nothing but repukes and I'll be damned if I will ever volunteer again. They have already done away with all the after school programs we use to have when Clinton was the President. :grr: No more. Let them suffer the consequences of their actions (voting for the chimp) and tell everyone you know to do the same!

11. well that was the end of the letter

'Because we have not received any federal funding we need you to help support any fundraisers this year'

Welcome to Bush Country!

12. my advise

pull yuor kid out, for home schooling and... don't suport them at all

let them wallow in this

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. AND, let them know why!

:hi:
