Because the vouchers don’t pay the full cost. Most people taking the vouchers for private school benefits are already enrolled in private schools. It’s basically reimbursing already private school and homeschooling parents.

I think lowering graduation standards has probably had a bigger impact on it than computers. Most HS are judged off graduation rates and ACT performance. When you realize that the ACT is a logic game in which it is entirely possible to get a 30 by only answering 40% of the test and then...

Well like charter schools… we are constantly told “it’s for the children” or “it’s for better schools”. Yet when you look at it through cold hard data you see it’s all about enriching the rich with taxpayer money or promoting white flight out of public education. At some point the red states...

What I don’t get is the double standard amongst republicans. Yeah the left can be looney as sin but the right has a way of “do as i say and not as I do” type of mentality that defies any rational logic. They are constantly worried about gender studies, what is taught in history class, CRT, and...

The truth is that if you have never done a year in education then you just don’t know what you are talking about in the way you think. Yes you can date someone who is in it, yes you can be a parent, and yes you can attend all the school board meetings you want but nothing gives you a real clear...

The funny thing is that the US and British destroyed a semi democratic government in Iran because they were taking charge of their own oil prices, and then put in a monarchy loyal to the West. The Shah and the US meddling in Iranian politics eventually led to the current regime. Had we did...

It’s exactly why toppling the government behind American military might is one of the dumbest moves we could ever do. If protests are easily put down then it proves there are no ideas in Iran of what comes after the regime is toppled. It ultimately means that the US would be the ones deciding...

I guess MAGA has had enough of the black eye they just got in Minneapolis so they have to shift to Iran.

There are fine lines between rioting and protesting. There are also fine lines between law enforcement and fear enforcement. Until the federal government starts to understand the differences between the two then rioting will continue to happen. Sometimes i think people only look at the reaction...

I guess people don’t color the way I do so I’ll try to be less vague. I hate flag burning… I hate seeing the flag upside down in protests, and I hate vets wearing uniforms during protests. I think it’s poor and anti American imagery. However, at the same time it’s legal and something that...

Or storming the capitol. But apparently no right winger wants to have to talk about the legality of that or the fact that they were literally killing cops. But we want to complain about it here

Buying non East India Company tea was illegal, and not allowing soldiers to room and board was illegal. Are you saying that both shouldn’t have been protested and pushed back against? If not then you are openly admitting that this country was built on protesting the enforcement of laws and...

Just a bunch of guys bullied in high school and couldn’t wait to turn 21 to write everyone speeding tickets. That’s the sense i get from many in the profession. The bar is set so incredibly low and the training is so lacking to become a police officer.

the police officers doing these shootings are hardly being attacked by protesters. They are just cowards who hide behind the lie that they are heroes of a thankless profession that we keep repeating to ourselves in order to believe the lie.
