WASHINGTON - White House hopeful Elizabeth Warren said on Monday that if elected she would roughly quadruple federal funding for public schools and incentivize states to adopt funding approaches that more equitably fund lower-income schools. Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts who is now a front-runner for the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination along with former Vice President Joe Biden, wrote in a post on the website Medium that her plan would result in the federal government investing an additional $450 billion in elementary and secondary schools over the next decade. "Our current approach to school funding at the federal, state

She's an effin loony - that's why the big dim donors are running scared. She'd definitely "screw their pooch".

Yes, let’s keep those black kids in their failing schools. I believe we’ve quadrupled public school funding several times before, with basically no positive results.

Pandering to the teachers union. It's "for the children," you know.

The government should not have the power to do any of these things. Our government is out of control, seemingly empowered to do anything with our lives and property. We have generations of dependents, who have replaced their momma's with the government, for lifelong dependency, and democracy will leave us all subject to government hegemony. I do not want Warren in charge of my life.

Lizard Warren: Everybody must receive the same government controlled 'education'. That is not education. It is brainwashing. The goal is to dumb down our children, make them lazy, and make them compliant.

Warren’s wealth tax fantasy is an unconstitutional confiscation of other people’s money. Not going to happen, and even if it did, the wealthy will whisk their money out of the US instantly. They will be ready. Without that the burden of her Leftist give away programs will fall squarely on the taxpayers - the shmucks that she claims to ‘care about’. Please.

Great!!!! Pour money into failing schools, may who are already receiving way more money than they deserve and close the Charters who receive way less money and produce better students. Sounds like a successful government program!

Yup, only the government is smart enough to indoctrinate your children correctly. And homeschooling would be outlawed next!

Isn't it amazing what spending plans they can come up with now that they no longer feel required to submit a Federal Budget?

"Federal money for schools" is nothing more than a front for embezzlement and fraud. Didn't former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh resign amid a scandal over a major purchase of children's books she authored by the University of Maryland Medical System and other groups? Wherever Democrats govern, fraud and corruption run rampant.

Constitutionally, education is left to the states. Total spending on education is close to 600 billion. So, dors Warren plan to make total spending 2.4 trillion or just boost the federal outlay to 80 billion? Our annual budget is bumping 4 trillion. So how do they propose medical care for all college loan forgiveness. Free college, 90 trillion for the green new deal, welfare for illegals and a guaranteed wage?
Answer...... none of this will happen. This is about empty promises to get votes.

Of course 'she' would. Let us ALL face it: The schools at EVERY level are now just another arm of the ENEMY. No longer teaching, but INDOCTRINATING. I saw this in 1978 in its infancy...now it is FULL GROWN and destructive...and UNIONIZED to make it even more difficult to rectify.
So let us all continue to FUND this utter INSANITY.

The funds will never make it to the failing schools. It will go into the pockets of her pals at the NEA and a lot of it will be kicked back into her own pockets.
