Why right-wing billionaires and the GOP want a nation of uneducated, compliant serfs

#3: Using your logic, then we shouldn't teach about WWII either, since the German people today had nothing to do with the Holocaust.

Should today's Germans pay today's Jews reparations, though neither had anything to do with it?

I'm from Jewish decent and I say absolutely not.

Not sure how this is on point? 1) I'm not supporting reparations. 2) I don't recall ever seeing reparations in my kids history books for slave descendants.
 
Are these statistics accurate?

By the end of five years, 25% of charters had closed. By the ten year mark, 40% of charters had closed. Such closures are disruptive to everyone concerned. The report notes that about one million students were displaced by charter school closures between 1999-2017.

Fair enough. I do feel that both should be taught in schools forever. We should never try to erase history. We learn from mistakes.

I apologize for misunderstanding.
 
So if "school choice" is the answer for minority areas, then how come it's not helped in LA or DC?

Charter schools, a key element in the “school choice” movement, are financed by the public but privately operated. About 6 percent of U.S. schoolchildren attend charter schools. California has the most charter schools and the most charter students; in Los Angeles, 20 percent of children attend such schools. In the nation’s capital, almost half of Washington’s schoolchildren go to charters.

Lol! DC and California 😂😂😂😂

What does work in those Democrat cities?

Right.

Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

So you are admitting then, that charter schools will not fix public education. Thanks!
 
Ok. Still not seeing how the government "profits" from the schools like a for profit charter school would.
Of course not...you're government educated and on the Left. Most of you have no clue or fundamental understanding what "profits" are nor how they're generated. Forget it, it's really a waste of time talking with you quite honestly. I haven't forgotten how you flat out lied to me about regularly "flying into Atlanta" on your 'part time' job while you're in semi-retirement just to check up on me and who my various paramours are?

I find it difficult to believe anything you say and even less of what you espouse on this forum because you are genuinely dishonest as well as demonstrably uninformed.

You're boring...run along now....

Education goes awry when those teaching begin to interject their own personal belief structure instead of presenting the factual information and leaving all personal biases out of it.

Run along? Because you can't show me the government profit sharing that you stated was happening? Seems like you are the one lying and needs to "run along". I don't give two sh!ts if you believe what I say or not. If you don't believe my travels or my words, then don't reply. Hit the "ignore".
 
Excellent commentary here for anyone interested in why school choice (funded by vouchers) works and is working where it's being tried.

Here are 10 reasons school choice is winning
By the end of five years, 25% of charters had closed. By the ten year mark, 40% of charters had closed. Such closures are disruptive to everyone concerned. The report notes that about one million students were displaced by charter school closures between 1999-2017.

But that's conservative policy trying to make it in extreme Democrat policy.

What's to like about Democrat policies?

Conservative views can't survive in such extreme liberal rule.

It's like throwing an ice cube in hell then claiming: "You see? It didn't cool things off. That proves it doesn't work!"

One thing cannot be disputed, every failure in this country has resulted from liberal ideas and policies enacted by Democrats. Everything the majority of Americans are complaining about was caused by decades of Democrat policies.

Oh.....got it. If a charter school fails, it's because of the Democrats.

Nope. Just in die hard liberal cities, where Democrat policies are destroying them. Pick a city...any city...run by Democrats and tell me how they're doing.
Interesting.......

Parents who live in Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, and Michigan should be especially wary. At the ten-year mark, charter school failure rates in Wisconsin were at 55 percent; in Arizona, 48 percent; in Florida, 42 percent; and in Michigan, 41 percent. Three of those states—Wisconsin, Arizona, and Florida—are joined by Ohio at the top of charter closures at the five-year mark.

This from Texas.....
The Class of 2016 saw graduation rates of 62 percent in charter schools compared to 90 percent in traditional public schools.

So liberal schools pass kids who are indoctrinated? Conservative policies want kids to learn. Democrat policies want kids to obey and be gay.

Not impressed by graduation rates . The curve is real and a real problem.
 
Conspiracies? Give me an example of a city crushing it, using Democrat policies.

Maybe I didn't read it correctly. You weren't saying that "liberal cities are passing students" just to make their numbers look good while charter schools aren't doing that?
 
Why right-wing billionaires and the GOP want a nation of uneducated, compliant serfs

Last year’s annual PRRI American Values Survey reported that 92 percent of Americans “favor teaching children history that includes both the good and bad aspects of our history so that they can learn from the past, versus refraining from teaching aspects of history that could make them feel uncomfortable or guilty about what their ancestors did in the past.”
Trump says he loves the poorly educated. They go to jail for him.

The fact is though most of the "poorly educated" attend failing Government run schools. Trump by contrast wants parents with kids in those failing schools to take the money being spent on them and spend it elsewhere on better private or alternative education NOT being run by Socialists in government. It's in fact Democrats, and their worthless Left wing teacher's unions who are opposed to school choice vouchers for poor Blacks...because like most racists they want to keep Blacks in poor and failing schools run by the government.

Do YOU support school choice vouchers @Soaring Eagle 74 ?

@Soaring Eagle 74 ...showing his true racist colors

That's OK Bro...we know you hate Black folks like most racists do!
