So, judges have ruled that the police do not have to protect you and that teachers do not have to teach you, even though we pay them to do those very jobs, including the judges.
Got to love the government! (/s)
“Teachers do not have to teach you”
Well, no, they don’t.
Education is not something that is done TO you, like a shot of penicillin. Someone who goes to any American school, even in Detroit, and who emerges illiterate is ineducable.
Did the other kids in class learn to read? If so, I wouldn’t accuse the teacher of not doing their job.
Teachers can teach all day long but if some students refuse to learn, how can you blame the teacher?
Correct rulings both times. You do have a right to health care, a retirement check, a house, a job, or food either.
No, police do not have to protect you. That’s what the Second Amendment is for. While it would be nice to have a cop in situ 24/7 in my house, the cost would be formidable.
There is not right to literacy, either. Rights do not require another person to lift a finger. That would be a form of slavery. If the kid can’t be bothered to learn, it’s his problem.
You can buy a gun and homeschool.
Fire the police and shutdown the government schools. They may do some good. But it would be better ultimately, if people resumed these basic responsibilities.
Yeah, it's radical. And many won't see a way for this to succeed, but they are lacking in the creativity that freedom affords.
That’s different from a “right”. No, people do not have a right to safety any more than they have a “right” to reading and writing. However, when a society compiles its resources to pay people to protect our lives, families and property, when a society pays people to teach children to read and write, their failure to do so is fraud. Either they do not know how and fraudulently acquired those paid positions, or they are deliberately failing to do what they are being paid for. It’s still wrong and illegal. The lawyers were simply among those unfortunate enough to not be able to read and write well or think critically.
I don’t think the suit was that teachers weren’t teaching but more the kids weren’t doing their part and learning. Literacy is not a right, it’s a duty.
The people who brought this suit were trying to drag Michigan down the same path as Kansas and Nevada where judges found this “right” and began ORDERING the State Legislature to raise taxes and spend more money on schools.
This judge was apparently too smart to fall for it.
