[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has the highest taxes in the country and we [b]spend more on schools per capita than anywhere else[/b]. If some schools aren't getting their share, it's the politicians' fault. [/quote] False. This is a lie promoted by Heritage. In reality, New York spends more per student than DC. And that's averaged across the whole state, not just in the city where property values are much much much higher than in Syracuse. https://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-education-spending-per-pupil-data.html DC is shortchanging its students -- because the federal government doesn't give DC anywhere near back what we pay in in taxes.[/quote]
