At a time when prices for most everything are on the rise, voters in the Concord School District have voted against renewing a lower referendum that would have meant an extra $5 million dollars a year for educating students and operating the schools.

It was a close vote, with 51 percent of voters rejecting the referendum, though less than one-fifth of voters in the district actually cast votes.

Schools need to stop asking for more money and use the budget they already have for education instead of frittering it away on window dressing and SJW causes.

Schools always ask for more money to “give teachers raises” and then spend it on other stuff, then ask for more money for raises again later on. They know people don’t want to fund the extra junk, so the schools keep using teacher raises as their excuse.

It’s amazing that so many people still fall for this shell game.

How much money should we continue to spend for students who fail the SAT? Yet the ‘schools’ still build coliseums to their stick and ball diversions. Wasted money and wasted youth; children turned over to the government to raise. Social Justice Warriors will not win any wars, earn a living, or raise a family; they will only beg at the government tit for more of other peoples money…money we are very close to running out of.

Then it will be the inevitable outcome of socialism, starvation and genocide.
