The video went viral, and the kid raised $14k for the band

It is, until you realize that we have gutted education budgets to the point where extracurriculars like this don't exist in schools under a certain net worth.

Come on, dude.

Let us have this wee moment that makes us smile, eh?

There’re multiple subs to discuss funding, or the lack thereof. Why not post on them about it?

Because I can post wherever I want! And, again, nothing to really smile about if you realize why the kid is doing it. Richest country in the world, but spending a couple grand on a band program is just too much.

A kid running a lemonade stand should be doing it for fun and to make some cash to buy something fun for themselves.
