Education is under fire

At the Federal level, there is an admittedly half-assed plan to do away with the department of education. 

The net result is that there would be limited, or perhaps no, funds that are sent from the federal government to states that ensures that the education offered will be "excellent" …

Meanwhile in the state of Florida, there is a proposal to do away with property taxes, which are used for some services, and most importantly, education. 

Florida has no state income tax. The only other sources of direct revenue are highway tolling, and sales tax. Highway taxes do pay for a lot of things but not education. And don't look to sales tax, as there's also a proposal to *lower* the rate, meaning there will be less revenue for everything. 

So Florida schools will be funded … how exactly? I imagine the only viable options for those that can afford it will be some form of private school (that doesn't have to adhere to a curriculum, and surely will weed out anyone who doesn't "fit in") or some crappy, overcrowded schools that won't be able to provide transportation or pay for teachers. 

But, hey, not to worry, because the state has plans to allow anyone to teach, to pay below minimum wage for "certain jobs" (teaching is not among them for now), and to allow children to work. 

Maybe they can just let students teach the class! 

This is insanity. 

Who needs an edumacation anyway?
