Spoken like a true Lefty.

The significant expansion of Federal Government power we are witnessing is a radical concept. Unless you support it.

true but again don't about a school for who the parents are. It just doesn't matter.

Most of it under Republican presidents. By far the biggest spenders of the last 30 years have been the Republican presidents. Clinton ran a surplus. Obama had cut the deficit. Reagan and the Bushes created our deficits. Thats a fact. In terms of the size of the federal government, who created the whole new behemoth of a department, the Department of Homeland Security?

The founders, of whom the far right seems to be obsessed with, rejected the idea of atomized state power when they rejected the Articles of Confederation and replaced it with our federal government.

The truth is that the right wants government to do the things it wants -- run wars, the WWII memorial, I'm guessing they probably like our highway system, a few things like that -- but they criticize the federal government when it provides services for poor and working class people. The wealthy do get services, BTW. They pay a far lower percentage of their income in taxes, they get sweet government contracts and more tax breaks, and they use their money to game the system so the rules favor them. We have become a far, far less mobile society, the whole pulling yourself up by your bootstraps thing that the right claims to love is less and less possible. The ironic thing is that the extreme economic disparity we have now limits economic growth. When so much money is concentrated in so few, it doesn't stimulate the economy. And that will ultimately hurt the wealthy as well. But taking the long view is not a strong suit . . .

I'd say one measure of the school that is relevant is whether they offer (or especially require) kids to take U.S. Government in HS. Many of the progressives have replaced this with a requirement to take either a Human Geography type course (great class BTW, but not as a replacement), Global Studies type course or European History. It probably has more to do with schools trying to make themselves look different or more sophisticated than public high schools, but I'd say that this is tied to the faculty's philosophy.

Isn't US Government more of a middle school course?

AP govt is in 12th grade and you write essays on contemporary topics.

SSSAS would totally welcome your family, but it is a very inclusive school so please don't expect your conservative views to be promoted or endorsed. The school does an excellent job of welcoming and accepting all. The same for Madeira.

Generally said libs tend to be of generation wealth, or lawyers who hate tort reform. The rest are just angry that they are so smart and can't figure out how to make money. Luckily at our school talk about politics either way is frowned on and I love that. I also am not interested in hearing any conservative talk and feel no need to indoctrinate my kids. Frankly, if they work hard and build a business, they can decide how they feel about giving it all away.

Say, what?

This. Hunting for your own meat is actually much MORE environmentally friendly and less cruel to animals than buying meat from a store. Particularly brand-name meat. That's why I've never understood why non-vegetarian liberals poo-poo hunting. Hunting is the best way to get your meat.

I think you probably meant to say economically mobile society. We are, of course, a significantly more mobile society, due in part to the interstate highway system.

Oh please doesn't matter if the head is a lefty, the parents are conservative there. The board is also conservative there. Liberals will do fine there because conservatives do not care that liberals are around. The kids, well they are kids and don't care.
