They spend the 3rd most in the nation per student and can’t produce a quality student.
MONEY IS NOT WHAT MAKES SCHOOLS GOOD.
It’s family values and communities. Things the left has been trying to destroy for decades.
I completely agree, they would have been good at math if they’d hated gay people more, you make sense.
Actually, Community and Family don’t require hating gay people (if you aren’t a member of [SUBSET OF RELIGIONS]). It is this blog’s belief that stable and beneficial families can be the new cultural norm without stomping all over the LGBTs.
“community and family are important aspects of a child’s development and can be correlated with success in school more often than not, therefore we know already that there are things we can do to improve school achievement without necessarily pouring money into an already failed and broken system”
“Yeah, sure, we need to hate gay people more, that will fix things”
Fuck, I’m so tired of shibboleths and dog whistles predetermining the outcome of any political discussion. How jaded do you even have to be to interpret “family and community” as anti-LGBT?
Truly, the religious right’s long term use of “family” and “community” as dogwhistles for anti-LGBT have damaged this country. Ranma here is foreign, but many in the United States have developed similar responses on those keywords.
The irony is that gay marriage is would be better from this perspective, since it could be used for increased stable family formation and create more potential homes for adopted or foster children. Also while it normalizes gay behavior (which makes the cons upset because religion) it also normalizes gay behavior (which is what makes it useful) as part of the life script, which should reduce promiscuity (and high levels of promiscuity generally aren’t good for people) and encourage integration with the national culture instead of counter-culture waging culture war.
