If the research is valuable, private industry would be investing in it. When government money is spent on research, its all about researchers and schools doing a money grab, when private industry does it, its about results.


Global warming is a farce, get over it, any money spent on it is nothing but a money grab.


Have you watched PBS recently? The shows are full of agenda. Worse with NPR. If people really wanted to hear this crap, then there would be no problem with private industry spewing it. FOX doesn't get federal funding, nor should NPR.


Schools are increasingly pushing agendas. I should get a say in what agendas I want my children exposed to. There is nothing wrong with private school (or home schooling). Have you listened to your kids recently? There is no question that progressive agendas are being pushed at public schools. With private schools, if you don't like the agenda at one, you pick another, problem solved.
