Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives want to dramatically slash funding for Title I, the long-running federal program that sends money to schools based on the number of children from low-income families that they serve.

A bill advanced by a Republican-controlled House subcommittee on Friday seeks to cut Title I grants by 80% or nearly $15 billion.

Republicans just keep writing the Democrat talking points for the next election.

    My app is removing everything I type when I scroll up, and I’m not going to work around that. Anyway, you’re misrepresenting what I said, whether purposeful or not. People with resources and money will always have better outcomes no matter where they go to school. It just so happens that many (most) private schools have a barrier that prevents people without resources from attending, so private schools appear to do better because they have better outcomes, but it’s by design. The design isn’t that they’re better educators either, it’s that their choosing to only accept people who will already likely have better outcomes because of confounding factors.

      I have addressed one way to get around that off the top of my head above. I’m sure there are plenty of other ways.
