You know maybe if they didn't spend all of that money, they could send some back to the districts that really need it.
How much money was wasted on Prop. 8? How did that affect education? It didn't, it was just part of the liberal agenda.
In the meantime, have any of the school districts considered ceding land to a Native American tribe so that they can open a casino to fund education?
Ellen, I like the way you think :-)
