This is so sad. Teachers having to scramble for dollar bills to buy classroom supplies, while we throw money at defense contractors and the ultra rich. What a perversion of our values... youtube.com/oGiF30dJg4M via @YouTube

Imagine if we made cops scrounge for money as entertainment like that. "Officer Jones says he's going to get a spiffy new uniform and maybe a cap if he can grab enough cash. Hope he gets it. Let's cheer loud and proud for him as he tries!"
This isn't a perversion, sadly. These ARE our values out in full display. It's disgusting.
We actually spend more than many other nations on education. Why isn’t it getting to teachers and our kids? amp.theguardian.com/us-news/…
