Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives want to dramatically slash funding for Title I, the long-running federal program that sends money to schools based on the number of children from low-income families that they serve.

A bill advanced by a Republican-controlled House subcommittee on Friday seeks to cut Title I grants by 80% or nearly $15 billion.

Republicans just keep writing the Democrat talking points for the next election.

Most Democrats remain staunchly neoliberal. They won't slash the funding to hurt black people but they will slash funding if it means there's more public funds for them to shove into their own pockets.

Better than the fascists and racists, but not by nearly enough.
