[Dallas] School District Seeks More Debt for Democrat Policies
Texas Scorecard ^ | 6/24/2020 | Robert Montoya

This November, the Dallas Independent School District will ask voters to approve a shocking $3.7 billion bond—on top of their outstanding $2.5 billion debt, which they haven’t finished using yet. They propose spending $40 million of this not in the classroom, but to support Democrat policies like “immigration services.”

"It is our responsibility to use the 2020 bond funding to right the wrongs of our past,” said Michelle Prudhome-Coleman, director of Dallas ISD’s Racial Equity Office. The district’s presentation mentioned “unfair distribution of financial, educational, and material resources” in the past.

This bond is unique because, unlike other bonds, the school district isn’t even claiming all of it would go to the classroom or students. Instead, $40 million of this taxpayer-backed debt would be used for projects like building infrastructure for grocery stores, clinics, or therapists in the area near the schools, as well as addressing an alleged “digital divide.” The school district refers to this as developing “school-community hubs.”

And the Dallas School Board is diverting funds from education to Democrat policies. Makes as much sense as defunding the police.

Dallas is a completely lost leftist cesspool, but Fort Worth is not very far behind.

We HAVE to get rid of our pathetic female mayor. The left can lead her by the nose.

Dallas isn’t the only city in DFW... most of the suburbs are R.

I get it. The Dallas ISD want to become private equity investors with the public’s money. That’s just a swell idea.
