The books will be withheld until academic performance improves.

same backwards insanity as No Child Left Behind;

"We will penalize the under-performing schools by taking their funding and giving it to the schools that are already performing well. This will improve the situation, trust us."

:the-republican: new, horrible and unpopular policy

:the-democrat: horrible and unpopular policy, expanded and refined, given the rubber stamp of 'progressive' legitimacy

This Reddit post yesterday is an example of this. Instead of just legalizing weed, there has to be this whole “review process” spectacle to prove how measured and reasonable the Democrats are. It’s just fucking weed man, it wasn’t a problem before it was criminalized and it still isn’t. Stop giving the question legitimacy with these sober analyses.

Give everything to the people at the top, they know how to use it best. Capitalist ideologues are the dumbest people on earth.
