School Choice: A Bad Idea, by Antonius Acquinas

Education should be 100 percent privatized. From Antonious Acquinas at antoniusacquinas.com:

While the school choice movement has been a popular policy initiative for conservative politicians and parents who are disgusted with the failing and, in many areas, debauched public school system, a closer look at “choice” in education, which includes charter schools, vouchers, and scholarships, may not be the panacea for educational reform as many believe.

One of the latest developments in school choice involves the funding of an Oklahoma religious charter school. The state’s Supreme Court has ruled that the public funding of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School is unconstitutional.* While privately run, charter schools are tax financed and “must abide by many of the rules that govern traditional public schools” says Laura Meckler in an article titled “Oklahoma Weighs Nation’s First Religious Charter School,” published in The Washington Post, April 3, 2024.

One response to “School Choice: A Bad Idea, by Antonius Acquinas

  1. They have muh weed in OK, couldn’t they use that to fund some nice things?

    The comrades there should demand an accounting and proper use of funds/profits.

    Oh… CCP/PRC took over. (sad trombone)

    AI will do everything for you, even decide when you are no longer useful.

    Local religious school is hopping and parents put signs in their yards to show support or encourage others.

    My beloved Montessori school is no longer that way and you can see some rainbow crap here and there.

    Locally at least five schools on the block from elementary, junior high or middle school, to HS.

    The lovely and talented Ms. C warned me about the internal commies long ago in fifth grade. (H/T)

    At least the gander of geese crap all over the place and it is like a minefield.

    LMFAO!

    Fed them some leftover salmon earlier as they were doing a grid search and they saunter off if you walk up too close.
