Bush budget again would cut E2T2
President proposes $56B for education in 2008--but nothing for ed tech
From eSchool News staff and wire service reports

For the fourth straight year, President Bush has proposed cutting the Enhancing Education Through Technology block-grant program--the primary source of federal funding for school technology--from the federal budget. Advocates of educational technology say the move makes little sense, given the president's stated commitment to ensuring the global competitiveness of American students.

It is sad to say, but I'm not sure that there is much we can do about this. The president is going to do what he wants. We can say that it is horrible that he is going to but the Technology block-grant program, and it is horrible. I think that he needs to go out and visit some of the schools, some need alot more technology, updated technology. Maybe if he did visit the schools, he would notice this and not cut the program. It is hard to tell. I guess all we can do is hope and pray right now.
