Dear God.

Buying guns for teachers is “improving school conditions”.

This is literally handing out tax money as a political payoff to gun makers.

I think it’s a great idea, provided, of course, that the teachers actually want to sell their guns.

Teacher (reading proposal): "…would use tax dollars to buy teachers…gubs?"

Betsy: “No, it’s guns.”

Teacher: “Uh, that’s gubs. That’s a ‘b’…”

Betsy: “No, see that’s an ‘n’. G-U-N-S. Guns.”

Teacher: “George, would you step over here a moment, please?”

She’d also want to allow naming rights for her brothers mercenary firm. Black water high?
I could see a school district being clever with the funds and using them for skeet shooting or archery.

Uh, NO! Not my fucking tax dollars. Maybe I should just quit paying taxes if this is what these fascists think its there for. That kind of money is not part of the Department of Education to be able to allow. Its not under their purview so she’s off her rocker. Any money the Federal gov’t provides or allows the states to use should be for national security or defense when it comes to arming qualified individuals. That has nothing to do with public education. I’d argue this should have nothing to do with private education either but she’ll probably figure out a way to enable use of our taxpayer money on guns for private schools, too. This is just a bridge too far. Sorry Crazy Lady. You are fucking tone-deaf as to what problems exist in public education. You haven’t even begun to look at any of the ways to fix our schools because you surround yourself with corporate idiots, gun manufacturers, and privatization zealots. You are INCOMPETENT. The only thing your family knew how to do was sell laundry detergent, and get the gov’t to officially allow your commonly held pyramid scheme to legally exist against its better judgement because you knew how to manipulate the system at the time and had friends in high places that were as corrupt as you.

That shit better not happen…and while you’re at it, stay out of Michigan. The air is so much cleaner here without you and your fucking family helicopter flying over my home constantly.

A spokesperson for the department, Liz Hill, did not deny the report, saying instead that “the department is constantly considering and evaluating policy issues, particularly issues related to school safety” and that “[neither] the secretary nor the department issues opinions on hypothetical scenarios.”

If one is considering proposals then isn’t one dealing in hypothetical scenarios? Is this not goobledy meeting gook? Or is it argle meets bargle?

That whole family have always been a bunch of pigs at the trough. They’ve always been huge recipients of Corporate Welfare. They’re a lot like tRump too. They stick their names on everything here in GR. They want to be treated like royalty, but lack not only common sense but any sense of propriety.

DeVos is a gigantic, effing idiot. The worst cabinet member ever–There’s not even a close second.

I was thinking the “program” will be tweaked to require all the guns to be purchased through Eric’s latest shell company, Armory Ammodemics.
