Spend that money on ACTUAL BOOKS.  So awful that we’re handing kindergartners iPads.  [/quote]

That's funny. We're trying to ban all the books in schools (as a nation). See H.R. 5, "Parents Bill of Rights Act." And in case that fails, we'll go state-by-state. Just look at all the states that want parents to be able to opt out of any lesson (in a textbook or otherwise). Some states have actually passed that legislation. Florida has already made it illegal to keep any book that any person finds objectionable on a school library bookshelf. Guess what? Some person can find something objectionable in literally every book ever written. But sure. Let's spend the money on actual books. I'm not saying that kids need more technology. I'm just not convinced buying books that will just be censored and banned solves any of these issues. (and I'm a second-generation librarian, who loves books.)[/quote]

Not the PP, but just as a normal parent, I think probably bringing back physical books is a better idea than using electronic devices so extensively at school. Here, by "physical book", I mean subject text books. Also, as an independent voter with young children, I am feed up with promoting ideology in public schools. [/quote]
