So what !  Giving schools all they ask for won't change the prison population .Schools don't teach morals or respect for others and their property. If we really want crime to go down we need to stop glorifying our drug culture . Instead of applauding pot use we should be telling kids to say NO to drugs . Or maybe you like the liberal approach better---legalize all drugs so no one is in jail for dealing dope. That would reduce prison costs . Look at the names and faces of who's committing the most crime .Thousands of riff raff have moved here for a PFD check. End the PFD program and thousands will move back to where they came from . Put another way--thousands didn't move here from warm climates because they like long dark cold winters and short rainy summers.  Think giving education all it wants won't stop crime--what about the serial killer who may have killed five ? He was a local basketball player . How did education stop him ? Donate cash to your schools if you think they need more.
