Public education is screwed up and it?s getting worse. School choice for everyone.
Dumbest thing you have said in a long time.

John U. Bacon Cliff NotesDave Brandon: "There's only one 'Michigan Football' in the market. Why haven't you pushed ticket prices to the stratosphere?"
Old Timer in the Ath Dept: "Well, we've kinda viewed this as a family... and our fans are part of that. We already have higher ticket prices than other schools in the state, but we don't want to alienate our fanbase."
Dave Brandon: "HEY, MOTHER JONES... THIS IS BUSINESS. OPEN YOUR WALLET OR GET LOST. And get a marketing guy to start selling ads... I see this big fucking stadium with plenty of virgin ad space. I WANT ADS there."
Old Timer: *visibly flustered* "Gosh, Dave, this isn't a for-profit venture. Where do we put all that extra money? Scholarships? The general operating fund?"
Dave Brandon: "Ha. You crack me up. I got plenty of MBA buddies who need jobs --> that means MORE VPs. And they have kids... MORE Directors of Marketing, MORE Social Media Managers, and Directors of "Student Engagement." Also: you're fired. Tell em I'm 'streamlining operations' on your way out."

If the choice is the same methods and test-based outcomes of the public schools, there is no choice.
Because giving people options for better schools is dumb? School choice is only for the rich, everyone else has be educated in a state indoctrination facility.
But that?s not the case at least with respect to methods. I?d rather send my kids to catholic school even if they have to take the state?s test at some point if it means they don?t have to be brainwashed with the latest gender theory nonsense, sex Ed and sexuality to elementary school kids, the 1619 Project lies, white privilege, etc. Here in NJ, it?s now mandated that teachers must include ?gay history? in their curriculum - whatever that is because they don?t provide any guidelines.

making schools worse for all the families who's schools lose funding under "school choice" won't change the fact that rich people can always send their kids to private schools.
How do you make a mandate if you don't have guidelines?
huh?
But a better question might be, wtf is gay history? I don't recall being taught heterosexual history or being told that it mattered whether a historical figure was gay, straight, trans, etc.
It's an interesting question. When police go undercover and sell weapons, don't they get people for conspiracy even though they don't intend to keep up their end of the bargain?And since the situation involved two people - even though Pence refused - does that make it conspiracy to commit treason?
what exactly are you struggling with? is it that you think these things aren't happening or you think it's appropriate that these things are happening, or is it something else you're not getting?
that's a great question and it's what my brother-in-law, a high school history teacher is trying to figure out. There's no curriculum, there are no guidelines for what needs to be taught or how much time needs to be spent on it, there are no text books. I guess he can talk about the Stonewall Riots or something like that.

So did Trump commit a crime?
I?m not talking about the riot, or insurrection or whatever whomever ends up prosecuting the participants charges them with.
I?m talking about his direction to Pence to arbitrarily overturn the election results.
