Schools

Tom, I absolutely ignored your "facts" on the funding of Arizona schools because I get to see first hand what's going on in my own state and neighborhood. If your "facts" say that funding has risen in the state maybe you're conveniently forgetting the fact that we're now 50th in the nation in per student funding. Wow, we've risen to 50th. You see what the hell you want to see. I get to see the overcrowded classrooms, the falling down schools, the huge disparity between the schools in the rich areas compared to those in the poor areas, the dropping off of special area programs in favor of only core subjects that will relate to test scores.

I get to see first hand the teachers paid well below their educational levels but still having to dip into their own funds to pay for paper, pencils, and other materials. Take your facts and shove them because they aren't facts. They're isolated little snippets of data that ignore the big picture. It's called propaganda and it's as insidious as the crap the Nazis and KGB put out. You're an out and out liar and you know it Tom and I'm going to call you on it every time you try to get away with it.

Is it still name calling if it's the truth?
