Schools in the United States Are Literally Falling Apart

Yesterday we learned that the United States of America’s 2012 discretionary budget allocates 59% to defense spending and 6% — 6% — to education.
That said, schools in the United States are literally falling apart:
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Timnath Elementary School is closed after a ceiling collapsed over the Thanksgiving holiday.
School district crews and a structural engineer are working Tuesday to determine the cause.
Poudre School District spokeswoman Danielle Clark says teachers discovered the collapse when they returned to school on Monday, an extended holiday for students.
Thank God this happened over the Thanksgiving weekend. What if it hadn’t?
America: We get what we pay for.
