Cut Funding, But Please Send More Teachers to Therapy
The University of Oklahoma's program that trains much-needed mental health pros for rural schools is facing a federal grant axe. Because, apparently, nothing says helping kids like cutting mental health funding. One official lamented it's a 'chopping block' moment for resources that support rural students' well-being. It's like cancelling firefighting lessons during a forest fireâgenius strategy for sure.

Slashing funds for rural mental health training is like giving a drowning man a glass of waterârefreshingly cruel and spectacularly unhelpful.
Apparently the best way to support rural kids' mental health is to teach professionals less and cut their funding. Because misery loves company, right?
This funding cut is about as helpful as sending a lifeguard to a desert. Spoiler: no one's coming to save you.
