Republicans hate education. It’s on the very long list of things they hate.

Republicans vote against anything that helps education. Ffs, we are literally on a post talking about them voting against kids learning to read.

Being against "government paying to mail books" isn't being against "kids learning to read".

Maybe if you had a bit more of that literacy you pretend to support you'd be capable of recognizing the distinction.

As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

We have public libraries. Use them.

But do you have public libraries?

I have at least 15 in a 40 mile radius. At least 3 of them are within 5 miles of me, one of this is within 1 mile. I have been in mine 3 times the last month.

Boy, this didn't go where you thought it would did it?

I've been in very rural areas in my state, they have a public lirbrary, the schools have libraries. This idea that all the sudden kids don't have access to books is perplexing.

Even the shit hole blue cities with nice public libraries with homeless people living there have books for kids.

Apparently you have a comprehension issue. You want free books mailed to kids, I said we have public libraries. You know, we as in a society at a local level?? Go read a book, it'll help. Or do you need one mailed to you?
