as a teacher- the biggest tragedy in America is that kids go to school hungry and then have to practice school shooting drills.

If you are okay with this reality- fine.

If you are not- vote blue.

When liberals talk about free lunch and republicans talk about vouchers- in order to really understand what they’re talking about- you have to understand how schools are funded.

Schools are funded by state, local and federal funds. On average, 13.6% of funding comes from federal (national) funding- straight from the US Government. 3.26% of funding comes from state government sources. 42.7% comes from local government- your city, your town, your county.

However, this varies by state. In Colorado, 93% of funding for schools comes from local sources, 2% of funding is from the state, and 5% comes from the federal government.

At the federal level- money is given for specific programs such as the Federal Free Lunch Program (this program only covers students with families under a certain income) or programs for students with disabilities.

State funding is where things start to get messy. A lot of education funding comes from the general fund. This is a fund allocated for education in the state- but isn’t specifically allocated to specific programs or goals.

Some states use this money wisely. Others use this funding for different purposes- ones not related to schools at all. Some states save it and don’t use any of it.

Local governments also have an education general fund that goes to “education” but it’s up to district governments to decide what that looks like. Some school districts pay a lot of money for field trips and excursions- some school districts have to use their funding to fix old pipes or replace outdated textbooks or finally hire that music teacher. Some school districts provide “vouchers” so students who attend private school can apply their cost-per-pupil to their private school- instead of the public school districts.

This is why students in Beverly Hills receive a very different education than their counterparts in Tucson. This is why people want to move to places with “good schools”- they have the best schools because they have the highest property taxes- meaning the best school funding.

Whether this is for the benefit or the detriment of the students is up to you- but in order to make lasting and sustainable changes in education we need to be aware of how education is funded.

I’m a teacher and I spent so much of my own money paying for students’ lunches.

The government already pays for some students’ free lunch- but not all.

Half of my students were on federal free lunch- but the other half were not. The students knew instantly who was poor and who wasn’t -some students needed free lunch but didn’t qualify. So, in an effort to help I gave some students my lunch number.

No child should be in “lunch debt.”

No child should go hungry because they don’t have lunch money.

I promise you- starving kids hurts educational outcomes far more than books about gay penguins.

I just learned that the leading cause of death in pregnant women is MURDER

women are more likely to be victims when they are pregnant and that is fucking vile.

i saw a creator say “my feminist goal is not to convince men that girls are of value, my feminist goal is to achieve a future where the judgement of our value isn’t placed in the hands of men” and she gets it

hey guys! in case you were wondering, do not vote third party. The United States is a two-party system and in 2024- there is no way that a third party candidate can win in this election, so any vote not toward Kamala will be a vote for Trump. DO NOT VOTE THIRD PARTY! VOTE BLUE!

“why are you so stressed about trump being elected?”

im not trying to fear monger, but do you guys see the writing on the wall?

Donald Trump started his own alternative news media streaming platform called Truth + for “Christian and family content”. Christians support him with images of Jesus at rallies, yet Donald Trump has never acknowledged being any faith before running for president. He ran on a campaign of misinformation and racist rhetoric. He incited a gaggle of racists to storm the capital. Even past members of his cabinet (including Mike Pence!) recognize that Trump is a loose cannon, drunk on power, driven by the fire stirred from xenophobia and racism.

From a purely historical standpoint, we’ve seen populist leaders with hateful rhetoric end up destroying their countries and the people who live there. But before these dictators did all those horrific atrocities, or committed government crimes, or stripped people of their rights, they were just crazy, loud-mouthed politicians who “would never win.”

Donald Trump is a felon on 34 counts, and yet, he is serious competition for Kamala Harris! Project 2025 and Donald Trump’s army of supporters are a real threat to the rights of women and LGBTQ+, and beyond that, the state of democracy.

Vote blue, convince the people you love to vote blue, talk about Project 2025 and it’s impact, we all gotta start work now, because Election 2024 is far from over.
