[FRIAM] "certain codes of conduct"

[Gary Schiltz]

Probably the reason K-12 underfunding isn't addressed much here has to do
with the fact that the list is populated by a high proportion of us old
farts and fartesses :-) who are temporally past the age of direct
involvement with K-12 and kids in general. I suspect that the more
politically left-leaning, as well as many of the centrist-leaning
inhabitants would support significantly higher and more evenly distributed
funding of K-12 public education. I would make the same claim for health
care spending. Ultimately, a modern society depends on a well-educated,
healthy citizenry, which the USA seems determined to make a luxury.
