Fiscally Challenged Union Sponsors Financial Literacy Curriculum

Dateline – Indianapolis:

“The Indiana State Teachers Association is partnering with a Republican state senator to write legislation that would require financial literacy be taught in Indiana public schools.”

“Indiana is making a commitment to helping young people understand finances,” said Indiana State Teachers Association president Nate Schnellenberger. “We invest resources in preparing students for the work force so they can earn a living. By establishing a financial literacy curriculum, we will also be teaching students how to wisely spend and invest the money they earn. With this comprehensive financial literacy proposal, Indiana will become a national leader in equipping our students with financial know-how.”

Excellent! The kids can be taught about high-risk investments, mortgage-backed bailouts, and how to spin out debt until 2027.
