The courts are now going to have to step in and help, but so far we still have Robinhood.
Ah it just a few years back really started to become a big issue in the schools I attended so I thought he was the one who brought it in, thanks for the info. And yeah none of the teachers like it, the principal at my high school hates it and said it is unfair that our tax dollars are not even going to our schools.

As much as I would like to see the courts come in and do something about it I really find it hard to think they will. Yes it would be a great way of winning over votes for re-elections but I feel that many with out children in the school system here really don't care.
