Stealing money from the public school systems. Not surprised in the least.

Far better to give citizens complete control over their taxes and schools rather than giving it to public sector unions that want to control citizens and their children.

You mean people who actually pay taxes (in higher percentages) to public school districts that are failing?

We all know you went to public school. No secret.
