The problem is property tax.

You pay that and you expect to get something for it.

And the main thing you get is “free” schooling.

So we either end property tax as a funding method or go to vouchers - otherwise the middle class has no where to turn for alternatives to the government indoctrination centers.

I’d like the ability to load Cuomo’s belly with 90 lbs of quick drying cement through his throat too. We don’t always get what we want.

While the article is ultimately about confiscation, on the surface it's about "keeping the kids safe."

Let's examine how to best "keep the kids safe," keeping in mind that there are about 300 million firearms in America, or one per person / five per family of five people.

So, let's run the numbers:

Students are disarmed in public school, as are most employees.

In fall 2017, about 50.7 million students will attend public elementary and secondary schools.

Public school systems will employ about 3.2 million full-time-equivalent (FTE) teachers in fall 2017.

In 2014–15, there were about 13,600 public school districts with close to 98,200 public schools.

Armed officers were present at least once a week in 43% of all public schools during the 2015-16 school year.

If you assume one firearm per school where a guard was present, on average that's about one gun for every 1,276 public school student and teachers.

There are about 1.8 million homeschooled children. Let's assume HSing families average three children with both parents still married. If you do the math, that's one gun for every 0.6 homeschooled child, or 1.67 guns for every homeschooled child.

The numbers are clear: Send your kids to a safe school - HOMESCHOOL them.

Andrew Cuomo never met a Communist program he didn’t like.

Wow! First, props for that guy. Second, I’m totally OK with him shooting at any NEA officer.

I understand, and it’s shameful, but at some point parents have to understand what is happening to their children. If it requires drastic sacrifice, so be it. Homeschool or find a private school, but get the kids out.
