Dance, Puppet!

I can’t help but be grimly amused at times by the current “debate” over financing public schools in the Texas legislature.  The very same school administrators who are clamoring for more state and federal money can be seen later (sometimes on the same newscast) complaining about onerous state and federal rules and the “loss of local control.”  I’m tempted at times to wonder how people could be so dense, but then I remember these are public schools….  raspberry

Those who continually clamor for more state or federal money would be well advised to remember that he who controls the purse strings controls how that money will be spent.  If they really want local control they’d be better served to abolish the federal department of education and tell the state to get out of the funding business.
