The superintendent of schools in Ithaca, Michigan, a small town in the heart of the state, had a sarcastic response to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and the GOP-controlled state legislature's decision to strip $300 per student from the school budget.
The superintendent, Nathan Bootz, noted to local newspaper the Gratiot County Scribe that the state hadn't taken funding from prisons. In fact, some of the eliminated school funding would be redistributed to boost prison funds.
Bootz has a simple (sarcastic) solution: Treat the state's students like prisoners!
In his letter to the editor, Bootz wrote:
Consider the life of a Michigan prisoner. They get three square meals a day. Access to free health care. Internet. Cable television. Access to a library. A weight room. Computer lab. They can earn a degree. A roof over their heads. Clothing. Everything we just listed we DO NOT provide to our school children.
This is why I’m proposing to make my school a prison.
Snyder is one of the Republican governors up for recall.
"Sure let's do, then we will have a place to put all the recalled JackAsses from around the country... Damned Treasonists!!!"

I was thinking of something more toward the bottom of one of the large bodies of water adjacent to the state.
