[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He lost me at "school choice and parents having the power to decide where is best for their child to attend school" and "indoctrination" by the public schools.

Ah, another RWNJ.  Will avoid.[/quote]

School choice? Boo! Trump clone!  :roll: [/quote]

I think people can come to a reasoned disagreement on school choice, but once you start talking about "indoctrination" in public schools, you've [i]immediately[/i] lost all credibility.[/quote]

Has school choice panned out as advertised anywhere? [/quote]

Truly, the evidence is mixed. It seems to help in some ways in some cities (modest increases in college enrollment and maybe even graduation too, modest decreases in propensity to turn up in the criminal justice system), and not so much in others. Personally, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze, but if I squint hard enough, I can see a reasonable person making the case for it.

In any event, it is conclusively not the panacea Republicans fantasize it is. And again, when one starts to talk about "indoctrination" in public schools, they've completely jumped the shark.[/quote]
