So do I. I homeschool. None of that “redistribution” crap.
If someone is in the public school and they don’t have a pencil, let the teacher (who gets a tax break for the school supplies and special discount days to buy them with the money I give her out of my property taxes) provided it out of the cash each one is given for “supplies”.
I wonder how much of the "redistribution" crap is really so the teacher can pocket the allowance they get for classroom supplies?
