At least they don’t have to worry about being clonked over the head and robbed or being raped in a stairwell. That frees them up for learning.

Let's be clear, in every state, public schools are a single-payer system. Every state also has a network of private schools. If politician can show an instance where the private school parents are trying to get their children into the single-payer school system and out of the free market one, I'd like to hear about it.

Even our "esteemed leader" failed to take advantage of the great Washington DC single-payer school system for his own children. Why would anybody think a healthcare single-payer system would be any different than the education version?

I ran for school board here in w/ Iowa (Lewis Central Schools) and lost in a 3 way race for 2 positions to a obviously Hand-picked local lawyer that was buddies w/ the school superintendent(o and his wife was a teacher in the district) and the incumbant School Board President(A female). As far as I am concerned the GS pukes and their clients can F*CK OFF!

I warned my daughter...She came home disgusted. She said: “Mom, you could have talked till you were blue in the face, they had their mind made up and I don’t know why they even bother having meetings.”
