Not one conservative understands that socialist, single-payer government schools are the very definition of socialism!
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS CAN NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT BE FIXED!!!
Why?
Answer: BECAUSE SOCIALISM CAN NOT NOT NOT NOT BE FIXED!!!
Solution: We must move to complete privatization with charity picking up the slack for the poor! Vouchers, tax credits, and charters can help move us in that direction and help start building the infrastructure for complete privatization, but the direction for education on all levels ( K-12 and university) must be toward complete separation of school and state. And...This even includes our state colleges and universities!
If we ever have socialized medicine in this nation, I can see it now. One hundred years from now conservatives will be posting:
** If only we didn't have medicine unions.
** If only we didn't have the National Union of Nurses.
** If only medicine were controlled by the the counties.
** If only we elected conservatives to the local medicine board.
** Medicine was good in 2020s. If only we could go back to the 2020s.
** If only medical school and nursing schools would get candidates that didn't have the lowest SAT scores on campus.
** If only we could get back to medicine basics.
Why don't you guys “get it”????? SOCIALISM NEVER WORKS!!!
And NO NO NO NO NO socialist schooling in the U.S. NEVER worked!!! NEVER! If it did we would not have had ( within one to three short generations) the following:
** the IRS
** the federal reserve
** Unions
** the feminist movement
** the failed “One World” League of Nations followed by the abominable U.N.
** FDR and all his socialist programs with the New Deal
** Johnson's Great Society
** the abolishment of the gold standard
** And thousands of socialist programs and agencies
Simply by attending, children learn that the government can take money from their neighbor to pay for a service their parents want for tuition-FREE!! And,..WORSE!..Their teachers teach them that tuition-free schooling is a right!
Well!...Duh!...If the government can take money from their neighbor for tuition-free school, why not other stuff?
Yes, I am shouting. I am **EXASPERATED**!!!
Bless you!
Never give up your clear and unadorned insight as to the necessarily socialist character of State schools.
It is still my opinion that only America’s children can shut down the System, adults having for various reasons bought into the Establishment narrative.
I agree with that. I will also note that many people who agree that government schools are broken will also say "I'm just glad my kids go to a government school which isn't broken -- our school is excellent."
I'm pretty sure that 90+% of the time those schools aren't quite so excellent and that parents would be dismayed if they knew the truth about their local school.
Some people here only parade as conservatives, but they’re really socialists. That’s why their solution for education is never the free market. They want the state to continue running the education system. So, instead, they propose things like an “immigration policy... to reduce low-IQ immigration.”
Yet, if there were no “free” public education, and if parents were on their own to educate their children using the options available on the free market, only those people willing to do for themselves would come here. This country would be like Galt’s Gulch, except with compassion because we Americans are very charitable and helpful, voluntarily, when we see another person is in a tough spot.
