48. Thanks to decades of GOP rule, with a short respite from 2006-10, Ohio's children are suffering.

Massive cuts to funding public schools with the spoils going to enrich the GOP campaign contributors who use the charter schools as a revolving door to launder money back to the GOP while enriching themselves are just one of the multitude of fiscal malfeasance of the Ohio GOP. The working classes and the poor in Ohio are being mined for money by these cretins who can not operate a business without stealing public tax dollars for their profit.

Thanks to the budget cuts here in Ohio, these educators know full well these children do not get enough good food. They see what happens to these children thank to the heartless GOP policies that care only to force women to give birth, but refuse to help the child once they are born. The GOP is anti-life.

These people are true heroes. Thank you to these educators.

Great find for the OP. Thanks for posting this.
