- Description:
- The document discusses the impact of budget cuts on schools serving Indian pupils, particularly non-reservation boarding schools. These schools cater to orphaned, homeless, and financially disadvantaged children who have no other options for education. The author argues that cutting funding for these schools would be short-sighted and harmful, especially considering the significant amount of money being considered for foreign relief.
