LEVIES: Far right gone wrong

| March 12, 2021 1:00 AM

The ad taken out in Sunday’s Press, by the Kootenai GOP, attacking the school levies is a typical example of the kind of thinking that has contributed to a failing education system in Idaho.

They ask the question, “Is this a time to reward failing education?” That is like criticizing a crippled man because he only has one leg. You can’t underfund the education system and then sit back and call it failing.

They say, “We the people can control our children’s education through the purse strings.” Yeah, you are right about that and the kids will end up Spud Stupid like the idiots peddling that hogwash. They couldn’t even spell purse strings correctly (check it out).

You say you want school boards to think out of the box too, how about you try that instead? You are just beating the same old tired drum on the issue of education and that is not improving anything.

Schools are important to the future of our children and Idaho, if you really care anything about them at all. The real question you need to ask yourself is do you want to be Idaho Strong or Spud Stupid? Make an investment in your children’s future by giving them a better education. Give yourself some credit by doing the right thing. Do not allow crafty politicians to mislead you for their own political gain. You are smarter than that.
