Clunker schools?

Now that we're getting all those "clunker" cars off the road (destroying their engines so that the young, poor and entrepreneurial will not be able to use them, many of them newer than what I and millions of Americans drive everyday), to meet a specific social agenda of the Obama administration, what else can be declared a "clunker" so that we tax payers can bail out a specific industry, class, union, lobbyist group, or academic field and sink deeper in debt? How about schools?
    "In February, the AIA [American Institute of Architects] led a coalition of more than 80 organizations and companies to press Congress to include funding for green, high-performance schools in the stimulus bill, and the AIA has advocated for legislation that passed the U.S. House to invest in school facilities."
