Sorry, but your belief is simply what it is a belief and not the truth.
Bush Proposes After-School Funding Cut in '04 Budget
Quote:

In his FY 2004 budget recently submitted to Congress, President Bush has proposed a $400 million cut (almost 40%) to the 21st Century Community Learning Center (CLC) program, the hallmark federal after-school program. This cut means that, starting in September 2004, an estimated half million children across the U.S. will be denied access to after-school programs. Unbelievably, this proposed cut comes just at a time when the federal government is demanding children learn to high standards and be tested annually on their progress. (Funding through the 2003-04 school year is likely to remain at $1 billion, and should be decided within a week.)
