So much for Sesame Street, Nova and other programs that educate and stimulate the mind. To understand how things work, and to teach kids how to read and pronounce new words is apparently not in the budget.
Republicans seek to keep power by eliminating funding for educational programing. The more one knows, the less conservative one will be. Republicans want people to stay dumb, so they can keep using buzzwords like Socialism. Critical thinking is the kryptonite of their agenda. If Glenn Beck had to do it, there would be no Glenn Beck program period!
The Republicans in their budget proposal place a zero balance for PBS and NPR.
See what the reactionaries asked for. Hope they enjoy what they got!! One more means to education gets a zero balance.
What about parts for that f35 fighter the military doesn't want but has a manufacturing facility in John Boner's district? What about those oil subsidies?
But let's take away mass media that promotes learning!
Keep America Dumb -- sure way to keep the GOP in power.
