Sadly, I believe it. Kids really need help in this area. Start them out with the tools they need and many will realize financial independence. The left cannot stand this. They rely on a dependent class to retain power.DerekJohnson said:and people are fighting this, if you can believe it.

Do they really need to know how to create a budget? Next, you will be expecting students to understand a credit score, the rule of compound interest, the actual cost of debt. Then what? An understanding of return on investment? Geezus, the insanity of these white supremacists. Let's stick to the basics like getting a state ID and logging on to a computer.Southerndawg said:

They also passed a law banning talking about sexual orientation. I can’t wait for you free speech warriors to get ahold of this. -
"Creating boundaries at an early age of what is appropriate in our schools, when we are funding our schools, is not hate," Harding said. "It’s actually providing boundaries, and it’s fair to our teachers and our school districts to know what we expect."
Harding has repeatedly stressed that the bill would not prohibit students from talking about their LGBTQ families or classroom discussions about LGBTQ history, including events such as the 2016 attack on the Pulse nightclub, a gay club in Orlando.
Good. Schools and parents set the curriculum
Run against it. It worked in Virginia -
