TAXPAYERS NEED TO SAY "NAYYYYY!"
TO FRILLS, AND END COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

Here's a good article on the immense savings that could be had if we ended collective bargaining with teachers' unions, paid teachers as the professionals they are, and lived happily and more cost-effectively ever after:

Ironically, this was in the news the same day as the announcement that the Millard Public Schools will now allow MINIATURE HORSES in schools as "service animals" for special ed kids. Meanwhile, there are tons of things that school officials say they "can't afford" that those of us who are for serious academics count as necessities, not frills.

Long past time to say "NAYYY!" to school overspending, and ending collective bargaining would be a great first step.
