i clarified my comment you posted ( you conveniently forgot that) to say that i’m opposed to forcing suburb kids to go to school in the cities. i’m all in favor of getting good students out of the cities failing schools and into good schools. liberals are the ones who oppose that. conservatives love it.

But you’re the one who decided that it would become “forced busing”
Redlining and exclusionary zoning is just the workaround

not sure why this is going too fast for you, but i’m all
in favor of letting city kids choose to divert their tax dollars to get seats in better schools.

That’s pretty simple. if you still don’t get it, that’s your issue, not mine. perhaps try loosening the straps in your tim foil hat. if i could put it in a pop-up book for guy I would, maybe that would help you understand.

it doesn’t necessarily mean forcing suburb kids to cities. but sometimes it leads to that. here in CT, they have talked about regionalizing schools. No thanks.

Liberals oppose school choice. Conservatives love school choice.

Going too fast for you?

Oddly enough, Vermont has school choice.

So it looks like you are wrong, or just mislead again and reciting propaganda that fits your narrative.

And no, we are not paying for kids to go to a religion based school.

So in the same post, you deny that liberals oppose school choice. Then in the next sentence, you adamantly oppose school choice.

You can’t even agree with yourself. That’s what I call howling at the moon.

I oppose the use of my tax dollars to fund your religion, Jefferson and Madison did also.

i know you oppose it. but you also said i was lying when i said liberals oppose school choice. so you’re saying two contradictory things.

how about my tax dollars? why can’t i use my own tax dollars to send my kids to the school i think is best? why are my tax dollars forcibly taken from
me and given to schools i would t choose to send my kids to? and much of that money goes to teachers unions, who donate it to democrat political campaigns and to planned parenthood. so it’s unfair for your tax dollars to fund things you don’t like, but ok if my tax dollars go to causes i don’t like.


Jim: liberals oppose school choice.

Pete: no they don’t, you’re lying!

Jim: so you support school choice?

Pete: No!

like taking to a three year old.

For the same reason the rest of us can't use our tax dollars as we choose.

Once again the mistress of false equivalence demonstrates a complete lack of comprehension

You only like the Constitution when it fits your desires, perhaps the latest appointees will decide it says what you want.
