I don't know if people still do that or if it was even a thing in other places, but that's something that happened in my middle school.
And it was looked โ it wasn't looked down upon.
It was a form of social status to get into fights and beat other people up and to do drugs.
And so โ
I didn't really fall through the cracks, but a lot of other people who could have otherwise gotten a better education and taken a better path, they might have turned out a lot better than they did.
And so I think other people should have access to educational opportunities.
And it shouldn't be limited to a school that's run by the government, like a magnet school.
You should be able to take that money to a private school.
Just like with food stamps, we don't say you have to take food stamp dollars.
And we can disagree about whether we should have food stamps at all.
That's not the argument I'm making.
But if we're going to have it, and if we're going to fund SNAP benefits for people, and taxpayers are forced to spend money on those things,
it shouldn't go to a government institution and we shouldn't corral people and say, you got to go here and line up in the bread line.
Instead, like we do with food stamps, the money should follow the person.
And so we should fund the student, not the system has been my tagline for years, fund the individual, not the institution, which is really interesting because Democrats support all of these other programs where the money follows the person and not the
the um the building like medicaid vouchers those you don't have to take those that funding to a government-run assigned hospital you don't have to take pell grants which are college scholarships for low-income kids students you don't have to take those to state-run universities or the community college and certainly not one that you're assigned to you get to choose a private or public university
Yeah, it's insane.
These anti-ICE protests, which are not organized by the kids, but the unions want you to believe that they are.
But kids want to get out of class.
Obviously, they're kids.
