Here Lies Our Dreams - Florida Funding Funeral - Betterfunding.org

Together we can stop the tragedy. Make comments we will send to our politicians. Let's raise our voices. If we scream, they will hear us. Even though Florida is dead last in educational funding, state legislators are making more fatal cuts. These cuts will kill our children's dreams. Cuts will affect athletics, arts, magnets, gifted, languages like Spanish, teachers, textbooks, scholarship hopes, and more. Better Funding for Florida Learning.

Thanks ! We're really glad that you came to the rally and hope that you come to more in the future.

How is it possible that we are willing to cut the dreams and goals of our youth and we are not willing to cut the things in the budget that really are worthless? We are suppose to live in the land of opportunity, what are we planning for our young ones?

schools are meant for learning! and we obviously need schools to have money so that we can LEARN. how would we be able to afford textbooks?

and about cuts affecting magnet programs?! my school is BASED on magnet programs, and we need to maintain them well because that's the reason why many kids actually ENJOY learning.

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NEEDED. we dont all have the money to go to college, and most of us really want to.

I'm not sure just yet of when it will be, but we're starting to gather materials and whatnot, and I assume it's going to be at my school, Ocoee High School. It would be great if you are able to come! My principal has been telling everyone about your video when anyone asks what can be done about the cuts. (For some reason the idea didn't strike him until sometime this week). Again, thank you for everything :).

Where? When? I'd come.

[ginerbites]

My principal is planning on doing a school-wide "funeral for education," based on your video. Thank you for spreading the word and for the inspiration.

Keep up the fight. Our children should not have to pay for all the mismanagement and corruption in our government.

Bush, Crist and other Republicans continue their quest to detroy public education. It has worked. Charter schools make them richer along with their friends. The FCAT was the trick to convince everyone that schools were failing when they are not. If the FCAT was important, why doesn't it count for college in FLA? Parents, Students, Teachers and the Media must revolt. It is our only hope. Without this revolt, it continues to happen.

I am tired of our schools being cut so that northerners, who have two homes, do not have to pay more taxes. The Republicans do not care about anyone but themselves. As long as they are beholden to the special interests groups, those who advocate school vouchers, and the snowbirds, Florida will continue to suffer a decline in education. As long as Floridans continue to elect these uncaring idiots we can expect more of the same.
