'''Federal funding''' is [[funding]] provided to an [[entity]] by the Federal Government. Entities which accept federal funding often have a [[conflict of interest]] when it comes to issues dealing with the government, because they don't want to lose their funding. Insidious forms of federal funding include:

*[[Public schools]]
*[[State government]]s
*The [[National Endowment for the Arts]]
*[[Tax-exempt]] religious institutions — since that is equivalent to receiving the same amount in federal funding
*[[Tax credit]]s to private citizens

Drug education

Lovingkindness: wikify

'''Drug education''' has been the misguided effort in [[public schools]] to deter students from drug use by teaching students about drugs. As a result, illegal drug use by students in 8th through 12th grades has skyrocketed to a shocking 77%.<ref>http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/article/20081207/NEWS08/812070305/1002</ref> The failure of drug education in schools is analogous to the failure of [[sex education]].

== History ==

The [[No Child Left Behind]] Act of 2001 requires schools to impose drug education, or else lose their [[federal funding]].

This mandate began with the Drug-Free
Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989.<ref>http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c101:H.R.3614.ENR:</ref> It expanded with the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1994, which was folded into the 6th reauthorization of ESEA.<ref>http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c103:H.R.6:</ref>

In 2001 Congress passed No Child Left Behind -- the 7th reauthorization of ESEA. Once again, a revised Drug-Free Schools provision was included within the larger bill.<ref>http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.1:</ref>

ESEA/NCLB was supposed to be reauthorized in 2006, but Republicans were unable to produce a final bill that year. After [[Democrat]]s took over Congress, they chose not to negotiate with Bush over education. Instead they simply waited for a Democrat president.

== New Jersey ==

In December 2008, an official report shows about 30% of [[public schools]] failing the No Child Left Behind academic standards, and over 400 schools repeatedly so.<ref>http://www.nj.gov/education/news/2008/1219ayp.htm</ref>

Lovingkindness: mini-biography

'''Charles "Dutch" Schultz''' was a [[Jew]]ish [[gangster]] in [[Prohibition]]-era [[New York]]. He was a deputy of [[Lucky Luciano]]. Schultz's career ended abruptly when he tried to expand his operation into [[Harlem]], which was controlled by the rival gangster Bumpy Johnson. These events are detailed in the 1997 documentary ''Hoodlum''.
