How,exactly can you claim to be a conservative if you think that rules should be enforced only if people don't object?

I am not seeking to take YOUR MONEY to enforce MY RULES upon your children.

That's Conservative. That's family values. That's Parental Rights.



Gosh, if I wanted to take YOUR MONEY to enforce MY RULES upon your children, I'd be some kind of John-Dewey Communist.

And I'm no Communist.

Are you really incapable of seeing that the statement,"do you think the inmates should run the system",is not a LITERAL statement? You know what I meant,of course the parents are not inmates. What a bunch of claptrap.

It's NOT Literal? Are you sure?

Try this on for size...

That's Communistic.

You claim to be a Calvinist?

Yes, and my Calvinism forces me to be an anti-Communist.

Yet you "feel" that because the public schools,which we all agree are cesspools of indoctrination,are wrong to have dress codes and enforce them?

Right, I agree that the Communistic Publik Skools are wrong to exist.

I don't want Communism to "work better". I want it to DIE.

You want Communism to "work better".

That's Communist.

Then you try to insult me by questioning my simple desire for the schools, flawed as they are, to have and enforce the rules that the LOCAL people have seen fit to write. You question my being conservative? What's the matter don't you believe in the LOCAL control of our schools? That's hardly a conservative or Calvinist view,so I guess you are just posing?

No, Local Communism is still Communism.

You think you are not a Communist because you support "Local Collectives"??

"Local Collectives" are the ORIGINAL DEFINITION of Communism, my red banner Comrade. The "Local Collectives" are termed, the SOVIETs. The Local Communist Collective is the very idea of "Soviet" Communism!!

I am firmly in favor of the idea of PARENTAL RIGHTS.
And I am firmly against the Communistic idea of the LOCAL SOVIET.

My original point stands,students shouldn't make the rules,they are CHILDREN,and whatever rules there are, should be applied equally to all students in the school. It is amazing to me that you are so hysterical about this trivial,inane,unimportant "event".

If PARENTS do not rule their Children's education, then the Local SOVIET rules the Children's education.

"Hysterical"?? YOU are the one who is appealing to the idea of the local collective SOVIET and trying to insidiously pass it off as being "Conservative!!"

Faugh upon that John-Dewey Marxism, my red-banner Comrade.

I guess you are the type of person who, while complaining about the "quality of education", would sue the school over any trivial objection you are able to gin up?

If it would cause the Local SOVIET Publik Skool to Die as it should, that's not a half bad idea.

But I'm afraid... good idea or not, I just couldn't bring myself around to the idea of taking Tax Dollars from my fellow-citizens by means of Lawsuit.

So, instead of Lawsuits, I'll merely continue to Vote for the abolition of the Local "education" Soviets.

If this entire thing is not a tempest in a teapot,I sure don't know what is! By the way I don't REALLY mean a hurricane inside of a piece of pottery,it's just a colloquial saying, not intended to be taken in a literal way. Should I use smaller, more simple words,for you?

Naw, these words will do just fine:



Those are small enough words for you to grasp, no?

I know it's late in this thread for this, and I'm sure we've gone round and round on this before, but if education is in the state constitution, how can you say it is not a state function? I have no question that it is not a federal function, but I do find it quite appropriate for the state and local level government.
