Officials say six employees of New York City’s public school system took their children or grandchildren on trips to Disney World, New Orleans and other locations using tickets that were meant for homeless students.
Homeless kids deserve childhoods too, but can’t help thinking there must be higher priority items than sending them to Disney. A tragedy of this story is maybe those grants wouldn’t have been diverted and could have been stretched further had they been spent on more useful things.
There is always going to be “higher priority” to spend that money on. But they got it for this so let them just use it to make kids happy and not try and say that it’s not the “useful things” to spend it on.

It’s a great priority. A poor kid deserves to not worry about bills and just enjoy Disney.
