    I wasn't aware that you felt Christian values were evil but that's okay since you are entitled to your opinion.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    What I don't understand is when you put the money with the student and you give parents choices, only the parents that don't care or want their children to have a Christian based education are going to send there kids to those schools.

    This is why I can't emagine anyone not being for school of choice.

    Delusional Murdock slaves, the lot of ya...
    in an ever growing state of income inequality, where the top %1 own more and more of the economic pie every single day. You still believe that the middle class is thriving. You still entertain the illusion of trickle down economics. And now you think that most parents want to send their kids to violence infested public schools... most parents in America don’t have the means to enroll their kids into private schools. We live in country where if you tell me your zip code, I can tell you if your kids will have a good education or not and thats mortifying.
    What this beelzebob is doing is nothing short of giving more hand outs to her peers. More TAX DOLLARS to the billionaires who own the private education institutions in the United States of lobbyists...
    this country has one of the worst education systems of any developed country... simply because of the huge gap in investment between those privileged students compared to the less fortunate. And now beelzebob is doing more damage.
    If you want to argue with me objectively why not refute the points I have made initially. This disgusting secretary wants to shove Christian ideals into kids, among other things. One fact, approximately %25 of Americans are irreligious and that number is growing. To me the worst crime any parent can commit is to indoctrinat his/her kids with the falsities of organized religion. In doing so, they are handing down the torches of prejudice and discrimination from one generation to another. And herein lies one of the principle issues with the United States of lobbyists. Instead of having the local, state and federal government pay for education with respect to the constitution via levied taxes, we give tax cuts to the rich and they in turn “donate” according to their interests and benefit of tax deductions.
    Keep watching the Murdock network, you will be all the better indoctrinated zombie for it...
    The candidates we vote for are seldom the politicians who represent us...

    May god have mercy on our united states of lobbyists...

    Mmmm hmm.

    Libs want God out of everything, but fail to notice the direct correlation of societal downturn in what seems to be a direct relation. Your feigned ignorance is noted.

    Democrats helped us get here. Gerald Ford once said "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have". Democrats have continually pushed for big government as the answer to all social problems. Well, now we have it and it's not working out how you like. Go figure.

    92% of school funding is from local and State taxes. The Feds only contribute 8%.
