1. Well...not surprised

They got caught trying to cleanse it of anyone or anytopic that (gay parents, cartoon characters) so what is their natural next step, like all of the other effective programs gut it, gut it so bad that it is left in disray.....

3. link to Raw Story on cuts

In his $2.77 billion budget, Bush asks Congress to sharply cut or eliminate 141 government programs. Almost one-third of the targeted programs are in education, including ones that provide money to support the arts, vocational education, parent resource centers and drug-free schools.
