did you go to a wealthy public school dude?
I've attended both public and very expensive private schools.
There's absolutely no difference in how the constitution is taught, one to the other.
Schools are not to blame.
Lack of education is to blame.
The tiny percentage of people who actually benefit from Republican policy are influenced by their profit motives, not their education.
They have one vote each which doesn't amount to a lot.
Their power is their ability to convince seriously stupid people to vote directly against their own best economic interests.
For that, they use a lot of perverse approaches like racism, religion, xenophobia, and misogyny.
Good education, public or private*, mitigates against that.
And that's why the oligarchs want to limit the best educational opportunities to themselves.
With an educated proletariat, they're totally fucked.
*excluding Bob Jones, Liberty Baptist, Oral Roberts type schools. I said "good" education.
Not a particularly wealthy public school, but not a bad one, either.
I know what you're getting at about the wealthy public schools, evince, but it isn't the curriculum material
that breeds all the assholes there. It's partially the entitlement.
Even there, though, you don't really spoil kids because you can afford to give them "stuff."
You spoil them by not giving them accountability.
Gang bangers from poor ghetto schools also lack accountability, albeit for obviously different reasons..
Oh and how long ago dude?
I bet it was when teachers were paid a decent salary
who we are fighting is those that are trying to take it away from us
NOT EACH OTHER
Unfortunately, teachers have never been paid an appropriate salary.
I agree that they deserve one.
Too much money is misappropriated elsewhere.
School sports alone waste a ton of money.
And please stop calling me "dude," evince.
I'm not trying to antagonize you.
We need Donald Trump about as much as we need another hole in our ass!
so you fix that by giving them rat bag schools?
you are having a "get off my lawn you kids …..why in my day kids had respect for their elders" moment
our kids are worth it
and just yelling at them that they are not worthy gets you what we have right now
starved schools
Agreed.
I'm not having a get off my lawn moment, evince.
Many urban schools are a disgrace, and it all ties into what I said about education for everybody being the enemy of the oligarchs.
We've got to pour tons of money into improving schools.
That means higher taxes for those who are doing well and can well afford it.
It also means less wasteful defense spending when no nation in the world is stupid enough to attack us militarily.
But you lash at me in unwarranted ways solely because I'm an older white male.
