My editorial comment would be that as a society we should be funding ALL schools adequately on a federal level (it should not be left to localities because the tax base varies so widely). But these days I'll take what I can get. Thanks to Brandon Stanton for rallying the troops (11 million folks have liked his Facebook page so he has a wide audience). Job well done.
