Reply to comment by arrouk in More than half of all young children statewide ages 0-5 are enrolled in the Imagination Library of Ohio program, per the governor's office. That's more than 360,000 Ohio children in total, each receiving "The Little Engine That Could" and other popular books in the mail for free every month. by Sariel007

Why is a private citizen doing the work of the public schools and of county and state orgs to increase reading among children, in the states? Why are elementary ed libraries and reading programs lacking staffing or funding? That’s a choice.

Dolly Parton’s private philanthropy is wonderful—but why aren’t leaders and educators using taxpayer funding for this, vs paying millions for high football stadiums and locker rooms or for school police forces/guns for troopers drives, vs educational/classroom and teacher funding?

Everything is a choice and everything is political, when it comes to taxes, budgets/funding and education.

Now this statement I can fully agree with.

ALL politicians are liers and just trying to get themselves another term.
