40 minutes away from the us government and the government can't help out

Thread Closed...As Usual
I know this isn't the time (hell, but when is it ever the right time??) and the immediate need is for the children, but we really have to stress to our brothers and sisters the importance of ownership. Property taxes fund schools, and schools that are in rent control and public housing zones are disasters waiting to happen. We have to learn to better articulate what we're fighting for. While everyone is on the 'fight gentrification' wave, somewhere in an inner city near you schools are overcrowded, underfunded or under-performing. Sometimes there is no good short term solution...outside of individual space heaters that may potentially lead to a fire or electrical shortage. Sometimes we're distracted by short term solutions and it becomes a cyclical pattern of charity and pity parties. This week its the schools are too cold, next month test scores are too low and the school is in danger of closing, next school year we don't have textbooks, and the semester after that we talking about high drop out rates. Rinse repeat.
I know everybody ain't able, but valuing your child's education isn't enough, you need community, and by community I don't mean a bunch of people at the town hall with a list of problems. I mean people that work towards solutions, and that starts with taxpaying, home-owning citizens that put their money where their mouths are. I know we don't always like hearing this, but we really gotta start giving a damn about our children, like really giving a damn. Like giving so much of a damn that we stop bringing children into this world that we can't support and that we don't value. I give of my time and resources, my money, my blood sweat and tears and the clothes off of my back several times a year, but it ain't enough, it's reactive.
Props to Maybin and all the educators in the Baltimore Public School system for all their efforts. I'm still gonna give to the GoFundMe and whatever else I can do, but I'm fukking sick of this cycle.
