I have a great Idea.

Lets open the borders, allow unlimited entry to mostly Illiterate people who spawn by the dozens that fill public schools with kids that demand free shit while not attempting to learn while at school.

Sounds like this Judge should spend a couple of years trying to teach these little alien monsters in those settings.

The judge should be targeting the teachers’ unions, not the taxpayers.

This country is facing “fundamental transformation” that is leaving the left in a lose-lose situation; young normals see their heritage ridiculed, their parents driven bankrupt by takers, and are “opting out” - of having families, buying homes, and in some cases, even working. They are content to pay someone else’s mortgage via rent because it leaves them free to flee when either the cost, demographics, or job opportunities impact them in a negative way - and the most socialist areas are desperate to somehow moor them to the bloodsucking population of unproductives and the government worker caste. NY state is offering the “Excelsior Scholarship” which offers “free” tuition to those who agree to remain in NY for the same number of years they receive the scholarship - they know they offer no other incentive for anyone with aspirations to remain in NY. My state of NJ is constructing similar schemes, especially for county colleges, but to my knowledge doesn’t (yet) involve the indentured servitude period upon graduation.

The Dems catered to parasites for decades, and now the hosts are fleeing; the huge pension liabilities in the news no longer have normals to fund them in the worst-off states.

My great idea is to shut down all government schooling institutions. Sell all the buildings, and use the proceeds for a one-time severance bonus for employees. Reduce everyone’s property taxes by at least 70%. Let parents choose their children’s education, private-pay or private charity.

Governors and state legislators need to start telling courts:

“Tou don’t make education policy. And if you want to make education policy, you can resign as a judge and run for elected office.”

I went to school in NM back in 1954-1956, 1959-1962, and the schools were excellent. Great classes, choices of many elective courses such as Art, Leathercraft, Radio repair, auto mechanics, Shop.

Then dad pulled us out of NM schools and dragged us kicking and screaming to the tick and chigger infested Ozarks where there was only “Readin, Ritin, Rithmatick...” The Culture Shock took it’s toll on us.

When I went to school in NM (1961-62, we had many Hispanic kids born in New Mexico in our schools.

In the Spanish Language class, they often failed because the local Spanish dialect was so different from official taught “Spanish”.

The judge should order citizens to create a culture which values education.
