Twenty-eight states, nearly all Republican-controlled, are now spending billions of taxpayer dollars to support indoctrinating children in religion through voucher programs that can be used for mostly Christian schools. Five Republican-controlled states are in the process of letting vouchers ghettoize their entire public-school systems.

Hold on Skippy.

You forgot about the blue states indoctrinating children into their left-wing religion of 57 genders.
And yes, using taxpayer dollars.
At least be consistent. Is that too much to ask of you?

[Mikey]

Are you really this stupid?

[JPGettysburg]

Are you really this stupid?

Go ahead and deny that blue states are indoctrinating children.
Two close friends of mine TEACH in the public school system.
Have you been asleep this past half century?

Whether they are "indoctrinating" children or not, what does that have to do with the state subsidizing organized religion?

Because for all intents and purposes, it's basically the same thing, if you are honest with yourself.

Think about it.

Religion is "faith based"
And a lot of the stuff we've been hearing about lately, is also "faith based"
What difference does it make if it's indoctrination in a church or in a government run school?

Take your pick on any number of things

Do you actually have any kids? If so, did they go to private schools?

Mine both went to public schools and both were National Merit Scholarship finalists. They also both went to CCD and were confirmed in the Catholic Church. But neither we, nor they, would stand to be indoctrinated by mentally deranged “Christian” fundamentalists in a system that’s supposed to provide an academic education that would prepare them for college and / or life in the real world, with a curriculum that goes against the main premise of our country’s founders, i.e. religion has no place in our government.

If you want to send your kids to a private school that teaches them the God created the Earth 5,000 years ago you’d have to be a mighty shitty parent. That’s your choice, but don’t ask me to pay you for it.

[88BuckeyeGrad]

Interesting positions here. Women should have the choice to kill their unborn children, but no choice where they send their born children to go to school.



I believe that all state charter laws require charter schools to be “secular” (i.e., have no religious affiliation). People who put their children into schools operated by religious organizations do so on their own dime.

Its been 10 years since my kids were in high school. Maybe things have changed.

My kids were lucky to attend a good public school. There are still a few.

Most, though, have deteriorated into dangerous facilities spewing out illiterate morons.

Tried to hire anyone lately?

The most astounding part of America’s “Joe Biden” three-plus-years thrill ride is that the Party of Chaos and Hoaxes was able to pretend until just a few days ago that this political phantasm could run for re-election. Now, regime insiders are forced to confess that they can’t hide it anymore. They spilled the beans as “unnamed sources” this week in a huge Wall Street Journal article. The president is going necrotic in full view of the whole world. His mind is gone. He looks ridiculous when he shuffles in front of the cameras. He utters obvious absurdities and lies. His wife has to lead him around like a dog on a leash. Everyone can see it. He’s got to go. ASAP.

The embarrassing ineptitude has been on view since the 2020 campaign, yet his handlers managed to flimflam half the country ever since, thanks to a news media captured by intel gaslighters and to half the country’s susceptibility to mass formation psychosis — fear driven thought disorder — that gave cover to treasonous actors seeking to save their asses even if they had to wreck the USA doing it. Who were these actors? The Clintons and the coterie around them, steeped in financial crime and sex trafficking; the Obama coterie of anti-white racists and bungling Marxists; the batshit-crazy Woke race-and-gender hustlers working to derange the merit-based social order (and get paid for doing it); the congressional grifters living off Pharma and Pentagon loot; the agency top bureaucrats who became a corrupt praetorian guard for all the above players, now desperate to evade accountability.

Screw needs serious psychological help. I've got friends of 15 plus years who teach in the public school system, and everything you've said is not only accurate, BUT it's far worse even.. NOTHING like the public school system from even twenty or thirty years ago.

I used to think screw was seemingly intelligent, but unfortunately, "mental illness" cancels out any amount of intelligence that he once may have enjoyed.

If the election was between trump and a steaming pile of dogshit, I would vote for the pile. And no doubt so would millions of other Americans.

Sure, I would rather someone younger than Biden. But preferences aside, the election is between trump and Biden.

I'll vote for someone who has slowed due to age over a felon every time. A felon who also has been found liable for business fraud, liable for sexual assault and defamation, and for many reasons, is a vulgarian.



A couple of quotes that I think help explain the sad situation we are now in:

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

~ Carl Sagan

“It’s easier to fool a a man than it is to convince him he’s been fooled”

And according to Samuel Clemens, YOU'VE BEEN FOOLED you're entire life, and lack the intelligence necessary to realize it.

Once the left-wing court is overturned, there will be NO felonies.

You've dug yourself such a deep, dark, dank hole, you have NO WAY to get out of it.

There ARE exceptions...like the clueless lefties with keyboards in here

This is interesting.

My kids are finishing up 10th and 8th grade, and have been homeschooled the whole time. My son is registered at our local HS as an athlete, and my daughter will be next year as well -- that's the extent of our participation. It's a pretty good school, as public schools go, but they would only be educated there as a last resort. So for me, this discussion is not abstract.

But for most of you, I think it is. Public schools are not what they were when you went, or when you sent your grown children, or what they were even 20 years ago. Can kids succeed there? Sure, if they're motivated. But they get OH so much more than the three R's these days. What I find interesting is that Mikey and others are seemingly offended by the very idea of Christianity being taught in schools, but have no problem with the garbage that IS being taught. Ideologies abound! But the ones they teach don't seem to bother some of you, even though so many kids in public schools are coming out depressed, anxious, unable to cope with people who disagree with them, dealing with the trauma of being bullied, and taking medication for any number of mental health conditions -- many of which are caused by what they learn and experience in school. For those of you who champion public school, what is your explanation for this? What is the solution, other than more medication?

Excellent takes.

Mikey and his ilk don't live in "reality", but instead inhabit an "alternate reality" brought about from years of being fed bullshit propaganda.

It's far far worse than cognitive dissonance, mind you, but rather a "deep-seeded" psychosis, as a direct result of the said propaganda.

Did you see Robert DeNiro's "unhinged" speech in NYC?
For years, Hollywood insiders have secretly described DeNiro as really really "dumb"
AND that's saying something because Hollywood is filled with low IQ drug addicts and whores.

It's been decades in the making. Government schools along with democrat run cities, have PROVEN that the left destroys EVERYTHING it touches.

Would y'all be ok with Buddhism being taught in public schools? Scientology? Islam?

Anyone remember one of the basic founding principles of our country?

I think you're completely missing my point. I don't have any dog in the fight about what is being taught in public schools, and I don't use any taxpayer money to fund my kids' education (except the sports thing, and even then, we have to pay for the season). I don't care what is being taught in schools.

But if you're so in favor of public education, why don't YOU care about what is being taught in schools? When I think about something called a "mind virus," I think about something that causes you to miss the obvious problems and sing the praises you're instructed to sing. You really think that half the day in a public school is spent on genuine, useful education? It's not. Kids are being bombarded with ideologies CONSTANTLY. It's no different than any religion. So tell me, why are kids in public schools experiencing such crisis levels of mental health problems? How can you defend institutions that produce so many broken young adults?

To answer your question -- if Buddhism, Scientology, or Islam taught the kids they are worthwhile and created for a purpose, I'd prefer it to the schools that teach them they're chemical accidents whose sexual impulses at 12 years old define their entire lives. But again, I chose a different path for my kids. Step out of abstraction and tell me you're really okay with what is happening to the kids in this country.

THANK YOU.
You nailed it.

Here's the irony.

The secular government school system has been in a downward spiral for decades!!!!

Yet these left-wing types are blaming Christianity?

These are secular government schools we are talking about!!!!

[Roux]

First of all, ppanther, post more and read less. Glad to see you.

I recognize the problems you cite, but I suggest that their solution is not putting religion in public schools.

My guess - and it is only a guess, I am not an expert - is that poverty is a significant contributing factor to the problems you cite. A stronger middle class would help so many, and even would help the ultra-wealthy. If I were king for a day, I'd establish a massive modernization of our nation's infrastructure. In addition to improving water systems, roads, etc, it would create many jobs and with that, middle class wealth. Certainly "trickle down" has not worked. If anything, we should aim for trickle up. I'm not worried about the ultra-wealthy, they'll still be in the 0.02% in any system.

The public schools are producing an extremely high percentage of mixed up kids, Big Pharma sells a lot of drugs, and it's the vouchers we really need to worry about. Because the funding MIGHT go to a Christian school.

Yes, I am concerned about a mind virus.

[Softball Bat]

ppanther is very well aware that a youngster cannot be properly educated without an acknowledgment of God, and of God's Word.

So, kudos to her.


See Deuteronomy 6:4-9


Western civilization was built on acknowledgement of God.
The ---> I AM <--- God.

This is long gone from public schools in Amerika.

ppanther asks (and she already knows the answer) why public school are turning out kids who are so fugged up.

There's your answer.

You don't like it?

It's still your answer.



Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
