Tennessee echo - Donald Trump wrongly cutting funding for basic education- Trump does not "care a fig" about people

Tennessee- Dear Editor of the Tennessee newspaper The Daily Herald:

In my opinion Betsy Voss is only qualified to sell Amway toilet bowl cleaner becaue her family is part of the ponzi scheme that created that company. Now, she is Donald Trump's failed education czar. OMG

Being a retired public secondary school teacher, I am very interested in any policy that affects students. So, learning that Donald Trump’s education department is cutting critical funding to rural schools has alarmed me.

A book keeping change will kick hundreds of rural school districts out of a federal program that for nearly two decades has funneled funding to some of the most geographically isolated, cash- strapped schools in the country.

More than 800 schools stand to lose thousands of dollars from the rural and low income school program because the department has abruptly changed how districts are to report how many of their students live in poverty.

Rural school districts have long been considered the most under funded in the country. Rural districts have budgeted for these resources.

Sadly, the (evil!) Tump Administration has given no consideration to how they will be affected by this cut to funding.

Rural education advocates hoped that a president elected by rural voters would pay more attention to rural children.

In Tennessee, Alan Richard, a board member of the Rural School and Community Trust said, “With all the attention to rural America, little has been done to correct the inequity so many rural school students face.”

Now my question is when are Trump supporters going to wake up and see that he does NOT care a fig about them??
