Poor Children Take Back Seat To Greedy Academics

Poor Children Take Back Seat To Greedy Academics
By Bob Guzzardi


UnitePa, an influential Tea Party organization, makes a valid point that the school choice bill SB 1 does not address the plight of those barely above the poverty line who are trapped in violent and educationally failed schools by leaving 30,000 children still trapped in them.

School choice vouchers of $5,000 as proposed by Rep. Curt Schroder’s HB 1678 and 1679 would save these children and cost $150 million if all took them.

The House Republicans, under the leadership of Majority Leader Mike Turzai and House Appropriations Chair Bill Adolph  fully  support  transferring $593 million to certain billionaire liberal Democratic tax exempt private corporations namely the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, Temple University and Penn State.

If this transfer of tax money was redirected from these extremely rich institutions to struggling parents via an expanded voucher program, the children would be saved and there would be money to spare.

In fact, vouchers could be offered to 60,000 children and there would still be money left to give to the rich limo liberals if so desired, although it is still not clear as why such a desire would exist.

We should ask Penn President Amy Gutmann, who is paid $1,367,000, if she deny poor and lower middle class kids an opportunity to escape violent and educationally failed schools many in Penn’s own neighborhood?

I don’t think she would be that selfish, do you?

  1. “We should ask Penn President Amy Gutmann, who is paid $1,367,000, if she (would)deny poor and lower middle class kids an opportunity to escape violent and educationally failed schools many in Penn’s own neighborhood?
    I don’t think she would be that
    selfish, do you?”

    What a question! Let’s ask the millionaire head of Penn if she is a left-wing liberal who voted for Obama. It she is truthful, you’ll have your answer.

    Good post by the way.


  2. Be serious! Don’t you realize the liberal mantra “It’s for the chill-drun!!” only applies in dealing with Other People’s Money, never their own?

    I do agree with stopping the half-Billion Dollar funding; it’s gone way out of reason.


  3. Bob Guzzardi states that SB1 does not address those barely above the poverty line. Yet he pushed this bill and called those who said it was discrimination against those above the poverty line RACISTS because they were for including all kids in the failing districts. SB1 is discriminatory and Bob Guzzardi was out there pushing it Freedom Works calling opponents all kinds of names.
