The Trump administration says it will stop paying out $1 billion in federal grants that school districts across the country have been using to hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers.

The grants were part of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — a bill passed in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in which a teen gunman killed 19 elementary school students and two adults and injured 17 people. The bill, among other things, poured federal dollars into schools to address rising concerns about a student mental health crisis.

Cool, cool, cool. Now they should sell kids guns on campuses. It is the American way. Yay capitalism at work.

In turn, we can bitch and moan all the time about declining birthrates. Maybe with their $5000 per child they could also give each newborn a gun as well.

Oh, and we can start manufacturing our fentanyl right here in the good old USA, preferably by prisoners and children for that sweet, cheap cheap labor. Cause fuck China, amiright!?
