Schools vs Wars

School levies in Canal Winchester and Hilliard failed yesterday.

As a result they will need to cut $25 million over the next three years, degrading the quality of education children in those cities recieve.

Nice job, voters.

But it’s not just their fault. It’s no secret that education funding across the country is seriously fucked up- mainly because our priorities are screwed up.

Hopefully the upcoming presidential election will change that. Unless, of course, we elect John McCain who has promised to continue spending $200 million+ each day on the war Iraq!

So I guess the question is: do we want to spend our money funding schools to teach our children? or on killing and dying in Iraq?
