Defund ALL SCHOOLS -- publilc, private, whatever -- pre-school, elementary, middle, high, trade, college, university, community college -- close 'em all. Churches will teach kids all they need to know about life and they can learn readin', writin', and 'rithmetic at their mother's knee. And they can go to work on the assembly lines at 7 years old. You know, back in the good ol' days.

Goddam but these people are morons.
