The superintendent of schools in Ithaca, Michigan, a small town in the heart of the state, had a sarcastic response to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and the GOP-controlled state legislature's decision to strip $300 per student from the school budget.

The superintendent, Nathan Bootz, noted to local newspaper the Gratiot County Scribe that the state hadn't taken funding from prisons. In fact, some of the eliminated school funding would be redistributed to boost prison funds.

Bootz has a simple (sarcastic) solution: Treat the state's students like prisoners!
