On the one hand, I have to agree with you that it's disgusting that PTAs have to get in bed with McEvil to raise funds.
On the other hand, as we sow, so we shall reap. We don't give jack shit money to education in this country, and we let our schools be run by fuckwit bureaucrats instead of by teachers. Result: crap-ass educational institutions that are perpetually in need of money, and thus are willing to do anything, up to and including suckling at the greasy hind teat of Rainforest McDestruction, Inc.
We kind of have no one to blame but ourselves for the bind that our kids are in.
