welfare state mega w00t!

No, for a few reasons. First off as it says the state is in a budget crisis, and this would be very expensive. Second, while I appreciate the idea of using technology to enhance learning I don't see how iPods are going to be used in that regard - what basis is the politicial proposing this working on? Has there been any study about using iPods to enhance learning? If not then it may just end up being a waste of money, and it may even end up having an opposite effect. Furthermore, giving it to students of all ages is kind of risky. The devices would be subject to loss and theft. I don't think this proposal would work out.

And people on this forum wonder why the Libertarian party gets less than 0.4%.

No, most people here are quite aware of why, excluding some of the Libertarians.
