That "If" is redundant. The tool who said it had to know it. Every parent knows it. Heads must roll, here, or the residents of that school district deserve exactly what they're gonna get.

"The focus of Congress is on keeping the nation secure - and it doesn't see that food security is an essential part of that responsibility. Instead of putting more food on the tables of America, they are busy finding ways to take it away." --Madeleine M. Kunin

Wait, wait, wait, wait, waitetty wait. You buried the lede again.

Unemployed youth go to this place called "school" rather than seeking gainful employment, they spend most of the day there, and are taught things, and they <i>don't pay a dime</i> for this. If that ain't communism, you can call me Uncle Joe!
