"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people

who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment

as a way to explain their frustrations."

"DeKalb Educators Take Hollywood Retreat

DECATUR, Ga. -- Using federal funds, the DeKalb County School system is taking a retreat to Hollywood California. America’s Choice, a comprehensive school reform program, is hosting the conference. ...The district is using an estimated $382,000 in title one funds to pay the cost of the conference, which includes registration, food, travel and a stay at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood. "

I think one thing not stressed is ... It is using STIMUWASTE funds.

Title one funds are suppose to be used to help disadvantaged children. The DeKalb school system sends home notices begging for parents to bring in boxes of pencils and toilet paper, to "share" and they spend $382,000 on a vacation trip, while 15+% of us are unemployed. How many school supplies and books could have been bought with that money? That money could have been used to pay for (4) out of work teacher assistants for (4) years at $20,000 per year.

Please ask Mr. Johnson how he is going to recover that money and make sure it is put to forth to do something worthy?

Ask him how many jobs is that saved or created with that $382,000 spent on a paid vacation trip?
