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.

Please explain how this is a “left” thing.

The general views have been that republicans are for parents being able to use their school funding for alternatives. The left is against that. That's how it is a 'left' thing.

, the left is the only advanced-thinking society we have.

I feel like your bias. You can recognize and criticize your own party. I promise, you don't have to just agree with everything they do.

If we left it to the right, we’d all be kneeling in a f*-k*g church somewhere.

In this situation, no, some would just be at different schools. Whether it's charter schools, private or home schooling.

I responded with several sources and points, showing that we've been spending more and more money, getting worse results and that private and homeschooling have shown to provide better equipped individuals to society. What do you think of these arguments?
