Classic cognitive dissonance.  Ignore data that doesn't support you, and reframe the debate to explain away your loss.  Support for "school choice" amongst Black and Latino parents was the premise that was challenged.  Now you are trying to parse it into public school/private school.  In both cases its school vouchers and being able to direct your child's education. That is school choice - parents direct the funds instead of being stuck in a failing public school.  https://www.federationforchildren.org/new-poll-school-choice-support-at-all-time-high/

How to be a Republican:

Take any service that the government provides. Privatize it, and turn it from a public good into a commodity (and preferably, a scarce one) to be bought and paid for in the interest of driving wealth upwards.

Convince people that this is a Good Thing (TM) because [i]obviously[/i] businesses are better at doing things than "bureaucrats" (ewwww). If the end result is that there are some people who can't afford the scarce resource, too bad for them! Only the strong (wealthy) survive, so we need to convince them to Get A Better Job!

But what if their current job is a job that needs to be done in the public interest (custodian, bus driver, food service) but doesn't pay enough to afford the scarce resource [i]and[/i] the childcare that is necessary to support their family? Well, custodians should think about that before they go off and have children.

And this is why you can't have a substantive conversation with certain liberals.  It'd take a week to unpack all of the canards...[/quote]

And it should be abundantly clear to anyone reading this forum at this point that they are conceding the originally challenged premise that Black and Latino families overwhelming favor school choice (whether public or private options).  That had to hurt.[/quote]

Let's face everyone knows the GOP hates democracy these days and favors oligarchy or autocracy. They could care less about public education.[/quote]

Typical "argument" of today's democrat - [b]make a conclusory statement with no facts, arguments, or data to support it and claim its true and "everyone knows it." [/b]     [/quote]

Typical "argument" of today's Republican - take the [b]primary political communication strategy of Dear Leader Donald J. Trump[/b] and claim that it's actually Democrats who are known for employing it.

I mean, it's literally exactly what he does ALL THE TIME. Make a conclusory statement - "the election was stolen", "the media hates me" - with no facts, arguments, data, etc, and say "everyone knows it".[/quote]
