The background on the initiative he doesn't want to fund makes it even worse:
http://www.clarionledger.com/story/n...lure/23443737/ Basically, the state wants to set up a new way of testing third-grade literacy, which could result in a much larger number being held back every year. It's similar to a program put into place by Florida, but the difference is that Florida is funding it and Mississippi isn't. Soooo... higher standards for reading, but absolutely no resources spent to try to help students meet those standards. So this a**hole's philosophy is, since the parents of these kids are poor and on food stamps, their kids shouldn't get an education to help them break out of poverty. Right. That makes sense. And the sad thing is, the poorer schools need the most money spent on literacy because they're the schools where the kids come into kindergarten already very far behind their middle-class peers, because they're less likely to have had their parents read to them or talk to them a lot. Literacy skills start long before kids start school, and poor kids come in at such a disadvantage that most of them never catch up: http://www.urbanchildinstitute.org/a...racy-and-early "By age three, children from wealthier families have typically heard 30 million more words than children from low-income families. When they reach school, children from low-income families have one-fourth the vocabulary of children from wealthier homes. By the time children from low-income families enter kindergarten, they are 12-14 months below national norms in language and pre-reading skills." Ugh. Depressing.

And it has also been shown that kids in lower income homes lose more ground each summer than the wealthier kids. These kids need a decent education at least! How else break the cycle of poverty?
His blatant racism is disgusting.
