:bernielaugh:Equitable Funding for Public Schools
In America today, most school districts are funded out of local property tax revenue, resulting in unconscionable inequalities. The federal government, by conditioning funding on standardized test scores, has worsened the disparities between school districts and among states. Since school districts are funded out of local property taxes, less is invested in the education of children from low-income families compared with their more affluent peers. In America, the quality of a child’s education should not and cannot depend on their zip code.
As president, Bernie Sanders will fight to equitably fund our schools. He will:
- Rethink the link between property taxes and education funding.
- Establish a national per-pupil spending floor.
- Eliminate barriers to college-readiness exams by ensuring states cover fees for the ACT, SAT and other college preparatory exams for all students.
- Triple Title I funding to ensure at-risk schools get the funding they need and end funding penalties for schools that attempt to desegregate.
- Provide schools with the resources needed to shrink class sizes.
- Provide $5 billion annually for career and technical education to give our students the skills they need to thrive once they graduate.
- Ensure schools in rural communities, indigenous communities, Puerto Rico and other U.S. Territories receive equitable funding.
- Give schools the funding needed to support arts, foreign language and music education to provide all students with important learning opportunities.

Polls don't matter Polls are over sampling old people to create a media narrativeBut what them recent polls looking like though?
He’s probably tag teaming his daughter in law with his son.Joe has been smoking meth with his son.
How unpopular is the idea?
Unpopular enough to guarantee that if a Democrat runs on it, they'll lose?
If Trump has a second term, he can pack the entire supreme court, along with all the rest of the courts, and he can enact any insane fascist doctrine he wants without fear of political repercussions.
But hey, let's see what Biden says when ADOS asks him about it. Considering his track record, he'll probably say something incredibly tone deaf and racist.
far left? breh you know theres no such thing in America.Democrats are already losing a lot of Black voters for being too far left on certain policies.
He doesn't mind discussing all kinds of topics, but when it comes to us he gets defensive.
Like I said, Hillary part deaux. “Stronger together”
