School districts across the country are also getting MRAPs, grenade launchers and more from that same Pentagon program.
I must say this takes the 1033 program to a newly comedic level. In the process of looking into this I found out that the sister school community college to the one my dad used to teach at got its own MRAP – those huge, mine resistant vehicles there was a lot of press about a couple weeks ago. Saddleback College, a small suburban community college in south of Los Angles, has a nine member police department. But they got an MRAP too.
