EdTech Funding Cut from Proposed FY06 budget

Posted by Zonk on from the who-needs-mice? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Bush's proposed FY06 budget eliminates a $500M Enhancing Education Through Technology program that is a major component of many schools' tech budgets. Rural school districts that serve underprivileged populations are going to be especially hard-hit, since they rely so heavily on technology to use educational resources that would otherwise be unavailable."

    Senator: All fellow members of the senate hear me. Shall we continue to enact tax-break after tax-break for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and fund decent education for the poor? How does the senate vote?

    All of the senate: FUCK THE POOR!

    Senator: Good!
