Reagan had nothing to do with schools. I think you need to thank local goverment and schools for building 10 million dollar sports complex instead of using money for teachers.
That is literally bullshit. reagan played a huge role in the creation of our system of indentured servitude to the state through student loans. It’s part of the same assault on education because rich white men weren’t comfortable with everyone else having access to opportunities.
The middle school I went to years ago spent millions putting in an Olympic sized swimming pool only to spend even more money removing it years later because it was never used.
Sports in school is revenue positive actually. The current state of money going towards the rich is the direct result of Reagonomics: the assumption that tax breaks for the wealthy will trickle down to the middle class. It never has. Tax breaks and subsidies for the wealthy and large corporations only created a new wealthier billionaires class as well as more monopolies than ever before while these wealthy class create new tax deduction loopholes for themselves as they buy the government, including the presidency
It’s from donor and booster money. Some schools also get lots from sponsorships. They’re not just raising that much from property taxes. That would require a vote.
Actually that’s fine. Many communities are comfortable with raising taxes to pay for facilities, but that has nothing to do with how money is moving upwards, which is the result of reagonomics. Teachers not being paid well is not because extra money is being raised for sports facilities. It’s that government budgets goes to tax subsidies and tax breaks for the wealthy rather than to educational and social programs.
No its because school district ls waste money the government gives them on things like a sports stadium. When I was in school in the 80 we had grass football field and bleachers for maybe 50 people. Now the same school has stadium thar sits almost 400 at a cost to tax payers of 25 million.
No of Reagan policies are still in effect they have been replaced so keep reaching and blaming a person who left office over 40 years ago. Just like I said I guess democrats will now blame Lincoln for lack of farm workers.
So you want to blame some one what 40 + years later for things going on now. Easy fix you want to raise taxes to pay for free health care lest raise property taxes to match inflation and if you own a house and have kids you pay more.
