Race plays a part in almost every aspect of life. We have white / black / latino / asian / and ME (and all of the socioeconomic variables and differences that come with it) living all over this country. It is a variable that the left is afraid to talk about with any degree of honesty yet decisions are made in every state and nationwide by people pretending that we are a country with no racial diversity because the left loses their minds.
That just can't be Ram. The fact that their kids were in private school at all means they were wearing hoods inside their homes.
I agree with the first two sentences.
All rich liberals send their kids to the most $$ private schools while advocating public schools for everyone else.
advocating for the best possible public school for everyone and also having an option that's best for your family/goals/resources are in conflict?
Yet.,,,I was called a racist for basically taking this position for my children.
Lol...most all truly rich people send their kids to private schools for the same kinds of classist reasons that they always have.
I've yet to ever see you advocate for anything positive for public schools and the betterment of education overall.
I pay A LOT for ATL public education ~ like 14k per year. What do you do?
i don't know about that. Do you also advocate for public schools being the best though? The voucher system hurts public schools and is rigged with public money.
Lol, I pay property taxes as well chief. I also donated a $25,000 printer/copier this past year and committed to all paper/toner/supplies/maintenance for it for a local elementary school. I keep my credit card on file at 3 schools to cover lunches for any kids who cant afford them. I do angel tree donations every Christmas. I read at local schools and volunteer at events often. Im also a volunteer tutor and mentor for some high school students.
That's a drop mic post right there, I don't care who you are
At some point in this country it just became accepted that parents had little say so where their kids went to school. I'm not sure when that happened, or even why. However, in 2025 it seems crazy to me that the best option is to say, unless you can afford to send your kids to private school the only option is to go to the school where your house is zoned. Of course that led to all types of ways parents tried to circumvent the system. Most drastic being to move into a better district.
I believe you can opt to go to different public schools outside district, you can in Ga, you have to provide your personal transportation.
If they could only get rid of those poorly performing students. My wife routinely gets kids in middle school reading at second or third grade level. These are kids who are sleeping in their mama's car or always hugging a pillow while watching TV so her mama's latest baby daddy won't keep commenting on how she's growing some nice tits. The poorest performing schools are full of kids who don't have parents who give a shit about their education and provide terrible examples for their kids. Frequently these kids have never been in the same school two years in a row, so yeah, let's hold those schools accountable. The problem isn't the schools, so how can you force them to improve? All they need to improve is better kids with better parents, but somebody is left holding the bag for these left behind kids. But whatever, let's punish those schools.
Unless you think that people with no children should be exempt from funding schools, then your argument that someone should be able to choose what schools to fund for their kids via property taxes makes no sense. Public schools are a shared common expense that the entire community pays into and benefits from. Period. Other schooling options are outside of that context and should be funded outside of that context. The reason that other schooling options are outside of that context is that those schooling options are not available to everyone. Open them to everyone with no applicaiton process and I'm all on board with funding them with public funds...because then they benefit...ya know...the public...
