Who needs books, computers, teachers, better facilities when you can have grenade launchers.
This country has lost its mind.

school lunches for urban kids over the summer is basically communism, but corporate welfare of the most embarrassing kind is ok? what a complete fuck up.

Has anyone tried to figure out why there is so much surplus military gear that’s apparently in great shape? Any cut in military spending is seen as treasonous to the GOP, but apparently they are so awash in guns and trucks that they have run out of police to give them to and have now moved on to school districts. Seems like there is a lot of waste that could easily be solved by a budget cut.

After thinking about this for a few seconds, I’m at a loss to determent why a school would need a grenade launcher.
Oh yeah, I forgot–it’s to fight the firiner illegal drug mules (Identifiable from the cantaloupes in their calves) terrorist Islamo-fashionista bang gangers comin’ unchecked into the soft red white and blue underbelly of this god fearin’ CHRISTIAN™ nation to abduct our daughters and turn them into LESBIANS!

Well, I, for one, would never honk at a student driver from the high school again.

The only logic for this program is as welfare-state subsidization for the Mil/Ind Complex, as most of this gear has never been used by the original owners.

Holy shit, they god rid of the chocolate milk? I’d have never survived K-12 without it. For all you younguns out there, imagine life without your iPhone, texting, SEXTING, computer, internet, cable/satellite/streaming TV, cordless phone, and microwave oven. I mean in the old days shit was ROUGH! We had to walk to school in the snow. Up hill. Both ways. AND WE LIKED IT!
And we didn’t have the warm feeling of a grenade launcher slung over our backs either!

Following Gov Walker’s lead, everyone involved at the pentagon and the school district administrations should be drug tested before they receive anymore paychecks.

Fuggedabowdit until Klebold and Harris wannabes get the keys to the grenade launcher and make it worthy of the front page. Don’t think it could happen? Even worse, have you heard of domestic terrorism? Schools can’t afford security now. Next thing we know, Cliven Bundy will be getting surplus military equipment.
Those of you who question the need for grenade launchers in schools have obviously never met an eight-year-old. Seems only prudent, to me.
