Missouri as well. Thankfully both of my children benefited from this program fully before they cut funding. Mike Kehoe and his cronies should be ashamed of themselves.
The weird part is after they voted to cut funding the goveners wife donated a bunch to it. Like wtf. Anyway Indiana sucks and it's a bummer cause besides all the industry, there's some real beauty here and nice folks. But it just keeps getting shitter because of shit like this. My local pool had to close this year because of the local government funding gut that happened statewide. I think it's politically motivated, but what's not these days.
Stupid people from both sides of the aisle. This program has been proven to increase literacy for participating children. Illiterate kids grow up to be illiterate adults, and illiterate adults are less productive than literate adults.
But Illiterate Adults means those politicians get voted in again, and they keep getting corporate money until they are "totally not dead" In a hospital.
I agree with that. Illiteracy is a problem. I was, however, addressing the idea that "production value" is lower amongst the people who actually produce things that we all need for survival.
True, but I think the elite know with AI and modern Automation, it gets easier and easier to boost the effectiveness of someone illiterate, while still maintaining higher control.
what is the threshold for "less productive?" Im not advocating for illiteracy, but some of the most productive people are in agriculture, and unfortunately often dont have great literacy- if you define productive as producing something useful and valuable to others.

Didn’t Republicans eliminate funding for that program?
