I'm asking for facts to back up the statement.

Your passion did come across as somewhat aggressive, but I find that education in general and sports specifically tend to arouse a lot of passion out of people (so no worries).
To beat the proverbial dead horse here; I am not sure that one can truly say that ASID does not spend "that much on athletics" when the teaching staff is some of the lowest paid in the area and they spend more on athletics than pier cities. I know it is 2015 data, but that is the data AISD itself has chosen to use and publish for the point of comparison.
Either way, I am not sure that Izppjb or myself are going to change our minds on this, and in my opinion that is okay.
