[Why are we funding Owen Chapman's track dreams?

Yeah, Gavin, let's talk priorities. But you know what really takes resources away from schools? Cutting funding and then whining about every dollar spent on student programs. Owen Chapman is just one kid trying to chase his dreams, while you're worrying more about optics than actual support for kids.

Are you prepared to see more dropouts and less community cohesion because of your penny-pinching? Let's actually talk about real priorities instead of picking fights over a kid chasing his dreams.
