It's money for indoctrination into the liberal agenda, and money to pay the teachers union. Wow there they go again spending money they don't have.

What's the catch? Do the children have to be micro-chipped? Do only kids within a certain B.M.I. qualify to see the school nurse? Has the school cafeteria menu been switched to vegan only?
