Red State Voucher Schools: The Right To Be Ignorant

[Seawytch]

give the tax dollars back and get government out of education

Where, anywhere in the world, does that work? Do the countries beating the crap out of us do that?

 

[Wacky Quacky]

That's the beauty of the voucher program. If you don't like what your child is being taught, you send them to a different school. When the schools teaching these idiocies end up with no children to teach, and then no money, they either change their curriculum or go bankrupt.

As for the kids whose parents want them to learn this crap, there's not a whole lot anyone can do. If not at the school, the parents will be drilling this nonsense into their kids at home.

Morther Jones has become desperate for crap so it's wades into the toilet some more

THE KKK IS AOK..

15. More $ = better education?

If you're a right winger, "No education" is "better".

 

[squeeze berry]

Is there any basis to these ridiculous claims other than the learned opinion of a hack from Mother Jones?

notice that the 14 claims do not exactly line up with the quotes?

Should be 14 wacky opinions by some lefty loon at MJ

While their government isn't completely out of it, Denmark uses a voucher system and they blow us away academically.

4. Africa needs religion

5. Slave masters were nice guys

6. The KKK was A-OK

7. The Great Depression wasn't as bad as the liberals made it sound

8. SCOTUS enslaved fetuses

9. The Red Scare isn't over yet

10. Mark Twain and Emily Dickinson were a couple of hacks

11. Abstract algebra is too dang complicated

12. Gay people "have no more claims to special rights than child molesters or rapists

13. "Global environmentalists have said and written enough to leave no doubt that their goal is to destroy the prosperous economies of the world's richest nations

14. Globalization is a precursor to rapture

Hey DUMB ass the KKK was Democrats

Funny how that all changed with Nixons Southern strategy , now look at the new republican party!!


As senator Ms Lindsay Graham said : We're not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long run.

 

[bodecea]

yeah we are killing it in public schools

Considering that public schools have to take any and all....yes we are.

Yes, the links provided at the source article. I realize that Daily Caller readers are unfamiliar with such a thing, but they do.

No substance to the links, either. Unlike, you, I actually have critical faculties.


P. S.

That means recognizing bullshit when you see it.

If you're a right winger, "No education" is "better".

If you're a left-winger you don't understand the difference between indoctirination and education.

While their government isn't completely out of it, Denmark uses a voucher system and they blow us away academically.

And I bet they track at an early age and have some pretty damn good vocational options for those not college bound.

And what is their school day like, time-wise?

 

[ClosedCaption]

The right to teach kids this crap is nothing compared to when those kids grow up dumb as hell. That'll be great for our society won't it? They are only the next generation. So what if theyre taught unfacts. How could that be a problem in the future?

Why does it seem that the GOP has embarked on a program to destroy education as we know it? Did the destroy-program begin with their attack on teacher-unions or has it been around for some years now? The bottom line might be, why is the GOP afraid of education, or maybe just the education that goes beyond factory work and gets into the aspects of life that they believe is not for the common folk?

Their school system and curriculum are different, there's no doubt there. If anything that just tells you how ass backwards we are. Vouchers wouldn't cure our education problems, not even close. But they won't hurt either. They give parents choice and hold underperforming schools and teachers accountable.

If I had my choice the first things we would do are school uniforms, closed campuses, and divert money from technology and sports/gym to books and classrooms.

The last thing I would do is just throw more money at the problem. We spend more per student than most other countries, and do a lot worse.

I wonder if vouchers (tax dollars) are being issued for Muslim schools...

that is how the wahabbists make radicals in those unfortunate countries... OHH!

Keep 'em stupid and they'll keep voting GOP.

Funny. I thought that was the Democrats tactic.

Take alook around you. Democrats have been teaching kids crap for years. And shockingly we are living in the least informed generation of our nations history.

So how about we attempt to teach people accurate information and how to think for a change?
