LA Unified. The same Leftards who spent $1.3 Billion to buy an iPad for every student only to to remove them the next day after the kids figured out how to hack them to play games and watch porn.
All while many of the school buildings are not to earthquake code.
Well I read up on that fiasco. What a joke. Broke schools and govts wasting millions.

Los Angeles Admits iPad Plan Was $1.3 Billion ‘Gimmick’
The superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District has announced that the district is abandoning its much-ridiculed plan to supply a computer to every student, saying it is too expensive and describing the original vision as a “gimmick.” Cortines also said that the plan was half-baked from the start, as the district never developed a fully-realized plan for how to use the devices in class, or pay for replacements over the long haul.
The plan was criticized from the start, especially for its $1.3 billion price tag, and a trial roll-out in 47 schools quickly devolved into a humiliating failure. Security filters designed to keep students on-task were easily disabled, while dozens were quickly stolen. Teachers admitted that they weren’t entirely sure how to incorporate the expensive devices into lesson plans… Later, questions emerged over the procurement process, as Deasy and a top staffer were found to have a close relationship with Apple and Pearson, raising the possibility that the two were illegally favored when contracts were awarded. The scandal contributed to Deasy’s resignation last October. In December, the FBI raided LAUSD to seize documents as part of a criminal investigation.

Reminds me of this beauty when the Obama “stimulus” package handed out $111 million to the city of Los Angeles for job creation and they got 55 jobs created out of that total. Govt at its finest.
