It sounds like tax payer money to be used for more left wing indoctrination.

Your taxes already pay for the education of other people’s daughters and sons.

No they do not. My taxes pay for the stupidity and ignorance of dumbed down, mentally handicapped children. Keep it that way. And there is not anything a parent can do about it. Stupidity is your child's future. Embrace it.

Smart parents homeschool.

They realize that the property tax or education bond is to create disadvantaged children. Lost money. But their home school child will have a great advantage.

That is the game. Do you want to play a game?

Beware of the government teaching the “truth.”

“Smart parents homeschool.


Wrong,SOME parents homeschool.

Most parents prefer public or private schools.

This is a really, really bad idea.

Most of these kids teachers are too stupid to know the difference.

Oh, they’re not stupid. They know exactly what they want to indoctrinate kids with.

Translation: They’re ramping up the lies/propaganda because they’re not working as well as they’d like.

...it is taboo to question the incoherence....

The Newspeak term is "blackwhite", holding mutually contradictory opinions at the same time, because the Party requires it.

It's a badge of the in-group, of which the self-contradiction is a necessary part. Swallowing it whole shows one's allegiance to the Revolution, doncha know.

Be forewarned, AP is a big disseminator of fake news.

I have to look those terms up later. Sounds like an excellent class. In 1968? Your teacher was prescient, also.

I was thinking of those unable to afford private schools. Though I think you’re basically right, other than my seeming a bum.

The school district I attended was incredibly good.

So good, that I was spoiled by the time I went to college. I actually thought the professors would be as good as my middle- and high-school teachers. They were not, with one (or perhaps two) exceptions.

I’ve compared notes with my classmates at reunions, and many agree: our teachers were very good back then, were smart and really tried hard to be effective.

"I was born naked and yet I don’t live as a nudist."

I was born with a desire to have sex with any attractive woman I see, but I don't do it. I was born with a desire to take things that don't belong to me, but I don't do it. And so forth. Somehow the idea that "inborn" tendencies justify acting out on those tendencies only applies to homosexuals.
