The Lottery: Helping Education???

Here's a textbook example from OCPA of why gambling should not be legal in any state.

"Gov. Brad Henry presented the first ticket to Oklahoma's new lottery to the state's teacher of the year. Apparently he thought this was a better idea than presenting it to the elementary school principal in Tecumseh who resigned after pleading no contest to a charge she stole $27,378 in student-earned money from a school activity fund. The district attorney said the money was used to support the principal�s gambling habit."
