This past weekend my family fostered a dog from KC Pet Project and we made it our mission to try and get him adopted. If you know anyone in the Kansas City area, I'd love it if shared this short video with them. Shutter is a great doggo who deserves a #foreverhome

This is simply going to create a cycle of wealthier, better resourced schools getting even more funding while poorer schools get left behind. It's a wealth transfer from poor and working class neighborhoods to wealthy suburbs. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/06/s...
