As heat waves creep north, they are baking schools that previously did not need air conditioning. Fixing the problem will be neither cheap, nor easy.

Republicans have been pushing to abolish schools anyway, and just send the kids home to be the parents responsibility. 2 birds, meet stone.
Or funnel taxpayer money to private, religious schools so kids can be indoctrinated into religion at a nice young age.
They actually don’t care if the kids are religious. They just need them to be uneducated, pliable, and poor. Then when the religious mood shifts, the owners can just move public opinion wherever they want it.
This isn’t about ideology: It’s about money. They want the tax dollars in the private schools because they own those schools. They don’t want the Catholic Church or the UMC getting their hands on that money. They want it going into standardized tests and “accredited” curricula–nice, private, for-profit industries the owners can use to fatten their portfolios.
I spent my entire childhood all the way through high school being indoctrinated in Jesus school.
You’d be surprised how many of us are adamantly anti religious as adults.
Hehe, no I wouldn’t:-P.
Ironically, Jesus was fairly anti religious himself - like “WTF dudes, show some compassion over your silly little rules!” Ofc they don’t teach that part in Jesus school - “oh [cough] no, Jesus was very obedient and you should be too and if so then you’ll get a present at Easter and if you are naughty you’ll just get coal instead (unless you are of that certain type - which we reserve the right to change the definition of whenever/however we like - and then we’ll electro-shock you probably to actual literal death)”. Those teachers would have done better to pick up and actually read the thing they are using to hit people over the head with:-(.
It’s funny b/c the whole point of school (except that’s absolutely not it, but you know… since when have “facts” mattered to those type?:-P) is to indoctrinate kids into behaving appropriately in a corporate environment.
But that’s not enough, and now they want to indoctrinate them more. Shocker: the vast majority of those kids want to leave those areas and never come back, if they can only scrape together enough money to make it happen and find a job elsewhere (despite lacking any skills).
