Education funded wrong

The most important news story of the year is being ignored by newspapers. Our Supreme Court said “Pouring more money into an outmoded education system will not succeed.” Instead of the Washington Legislature doing its duty and reforming the system, some legislators plan to irresponsibly throw $4 billion in new taxes at a totally archaic, dysfunctional, fraudulent, financially irresponsible, abusive, racially and socioeconomically discriminatory education system!

Newspapers, instead of doing investigative reporting, have been complicit in presenting lies of the Political Industrial Education Complex, led by the teacher’s union and OSPI, as fact. The reason education is funded by property, instead of sales, taxes is to hide the gross greed of teachers and to disadvantage those who improve their property instead of spending money elsewhere.

Call your legislator and say, no additional money for education, no new taxes, fund education with sales tax only, reject all federal money, no illegals in schools and no English as a Second Language classes. Citizens, protect your wallet and visit SOSWashington.com, become an education warrior and demand the education system be transformed by legislators - not OSPI, to benefit students instead of teachers.
