Supreme Court rejects integration plans and now Chapter 220 Program is in Doubt

Supreme Court rejects integration plans and now Chapter 220 Program is in Doubt.

Clap - Clap - Clap. I stand up and applaud 5 out of the 9 members. Whistle - Whistle - Whistle. I can't get over it... could it be? Could we finally get rid of the bullshit program of 220?!

Let me explain to you in terms everyone can understand. 220 is nothing more than making schools more diverse in color. That's great. However there is a program called "Open Enrollment" which is more of a proper solution. I myself disagree with open enrollment, but it's nothing close to the 220 in the bullshit category.

When a family buys a house there are 3 major reasons for decisions. Taxes, Location, & School District. People move to certain areas and pay their home taxes and high mortgages and get the luxury of having nice parks, safe streets, and a school they trust. So why is it we let people from another district come to these schools simply because of the color of their skin? Sounds like prejudice to me. So now you have a family busting their ass to afford their house and schools while some one else can send their kids to the same district for free.

The problem then lies in the question, "Is it free?"
The answer is no. The cost for Milwaukee, Racine, Madison, Beloit, and Wausau was $54.5 million just for the 2006-2007 school year. Most of those costs were school bus fairs. Take a step back and take a breath... $54.5 million is spent so kids can go to schools not in their district!

If we want to be fair and save $54.5 million of taxpayers money the solution is simple. Part of the solution is what the Supreme Court voted on.
If you live in District A, your kid goes to District A schools, unless you're going to pay for it. That means you take them to school with your vehicle and your gas. However I don't think we should even have that. If you live in District A your kid belongs in that school district. If you can't afford to live in the school district you want your kid going to... then you shouldn't have had kids. Why is it my job to pay for busing into other districts when there's a school right there? It's ridiculous!

So hopefully everything follows through with the Supreme Court ruling and we can get rid of this non-sense of having a 220 program.

Then all we have to do is get rid of free lunch & free school fees.
