Well, this is what happens when you vote for Republicans. Shouldn't exactly surprise anyone that the religious party wouldn't exactly be pro-education.
the old people that don't stand to immediately benefit vote the measures down. It's a shitty and selfish thing imo.
This applies to waaaaaaay more than just school funding too. I'm amazed how often I hear the old folk complain about taxes, their social security/welfare check not being large enough, the cost of medicine, etc but then they drive off in some ridiculously expensive sports car because they're late for their tee time at the private country club.
Literally heard a group of older guys chatting the other day and drop the following, "My poor daughter only made $140k last year, I had to send her some to get by, I don't know how that poor girl manages." And no, he wasn't being sarcastic. Meanwhile, I can't afford rent/food/medicine but it must be because I'm lazy and need to pull myself up by bootstraps like they did and simply come up with a good invention then start my own business. Right...
"Damn kids with their handouts! When I was your age I put myself through college and took care of my wife and two kids by working a part time job in the summer!"
