I thought all leftists were pro-choice….I guess only when it comes to killing babies. Choice in education is not acceptable according to Kitty Boitnott of VEA in Times Dispatch. Why?
Because our government run schools take care of people:
- Her parents, who spoke little English, were unable (or unwilling) to drive her to school, so she would call the school office to ask if someone could come get her. As far as I know, someone always did.
- The principal pulled a snack from the stash she kept in her office and told him the next time he came to school with no breakfast, he was to come straight to her.
She is right! No private run school system would do these things!
Because government run schools are safe havens:
I thought schools were about education? So the argument for public education is that they are safe? Ask Justin Creech if he felt public education was safe for him (of course, you can not, he was killed by his classmate!) Once again, no private school could be safe, only government run public schools are a safe haven! Forgive me for puking!
Because the promise of vouchers(choice) is false:
Just saying it is “false” doesn’t make it so. Why is it false? The “promise of (vouchers) choice” works everywhere else but it wouldn’t work in education? But the VEA are masters in free-market thinking and the brightest among us and it is demonstrated perfectly with the above comment!
Because trying to fix what we have would be too difficult:
Why challenge government run schools? They don’t work! That is why we should challenge them! At least, not as well as the private sector could! Dreaming up?? Once again, we know that it works everywhere else! By the way, “reforms” don’t happen in government systems, but it is a nice idea by an entrenched bureaucrat with a pension!
Because this is were they learn about America:
Seriously? Wow, I can’t believe that she said this! Do we say the pledge anymore in our schools? Do we teach how great the Founders were or how evil Columbus was? Do we teach the greatest of America or the stains of America? EXACTLY-Is this woman a complete dunce (perhaps a product of public education!) ? Listen to: SW VA teaches Climate Change.
Because it is about diversity:
I can’t take it! It is obviously not about learning math and English…it is all about social engineering!
Why is Kitty opposed to school choice? It could be that the reason the VEA opposes choice could be because their pensions are tied to this broken system and with parents in charge, their little government indoctrination centers would collapse!
