Staci Appel Is Costing Taxpayers A Lot Of Money

State Senator Staci Appel and her husband, Iowa Supreme Court Justice Brent Appel, who basically bought his appointment.


From Radio Iowa:

The Iowa Senate has given final legislative approval to a 15-million dollar preschool program, sending the measure on to the governor for his approval. The bill would provide grants to school districts that begin offering four-year-olds at least 10 hours of classroom time each week with a qualified teacher. Kids attending in-home daycare could go to a local elementary school for those 10 hours, or the teacher could work out of an existing preschool.

Senator Staci Appel, a Democrat from Ackworth, says either way, the move will help shrink the so-called "achievement" gap. "We've got kids coming into kindergarten who can read at a first and second grade reading level, and then we have children coming in that don't know what their last name is, can't tell you what color they have on and that's a huge achievement gap that no teacher can shrink," Apple says. "I'm hoping that this early childhood program will help do that."

And if it doesn't can taxpayers get rid of it?

Ha ha, just joking.

This scam is all based on a very small study of poor black children in Michigan in 1962 called The Perry Project. It's also a payoff to school districts and campaign donors the unions that represent teachers.

If kids are going into kindergarten unable to know their last name, then perhaps DHS should be sniffing around the child's apartment and checking the DNA and criminal record of the sperm donor the child's mother is fucking and making more worthless bastards with.

No, they won't do anything like that. DHS certainly doesn't want to look like anybody has an ax to grind.

Isn't it strange? School districts get more money than ever before. Teachers do the best with what they have. And there's all this special ed and alternative high schools for loser kids to attend and things like Ritalin and Prozac to drug the little mouthy brats into compliance. But despite all these efforts the do-gooder idiots like Staci Appel, who I can only guess isn't around to see her kids grow up, have to soak the taxpayers with what will eventually be billions of dollars of wasted money on a small number of 4 year olds who really would thrive better with a stable two-parent-married family rather than living in lice/drug/fast food/swearing/pit bulls/drugs/porn filled lifestyle that their shitbag "parents" engage in. I'd rather see these little brats rounded up and sent to some State institution where they could at least be turned around. Wouldn't that be cheaper than this?

And this "middle income families" bullshit that Staci Appel talks about, come on. Has she even bothered to find out how much a decent pre-school costs? I called a buddy of mine whose son went to a preschool in a church last year. Know how much he paid? It was around $100 a month. If "middle income families" can't afford $100 a month for pre-school for junior then the family has a serious budget and lifestyle problem.

Staci Appel is public enemy #1 against the taxpayers and anybody who is objects to her pro-authoritarian and pro-voter fraud agenda. If the Republican Party of Iowa Wimps can't bother to concentrate resources to get rid of her well-used uterus in 2008 then they deserve to continue to be the permanent minority they are becoming.
