Marley came home with a big smile on her face because she took out the same book as Blake Shelton at her school, but her mom was not happy. Why? Shelly Bryan Parker explained, “Marley is EXCITED that her ‘new’ reader belonged to Blake Shelton, but I am EMBARRASSED!!!! I’m 40 and these people are my age!!! Thank you to every teacher/parent/support staffer/etc. for fighting for my kids education!!! Don’t give up until education is FULLY FUNDED!!!! #fundOKED #Okwalk4kids #westillloveblake.”
If you think about it, Shelton took out this book 35 years ago. That means that book is probably older than some of the teachers at that school. Why aren’t our tax dollars going to update our children’s school books? No wonder the teachers walked out.
The President wants to spend money on arming teachers with guns, but I want to spend the money on arming teachers with books and school supplies. They need that more than guns. The students need that more than guns. The federal government needs to work on smarter gun laws and the teachers need to focus on making the future generation smart.
When it comes to the book, I hope Marley gets to keep it and her school gets new books.
