Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[LinekersLegs]

Again a great counter post LL, as I just said to another poster catholic schools in the UK aren't fee paying, but a question, in the USA are they always fee paying schools I honestly don't know .. if so would that restrict those who want from going to them on economic grounds? If they are free then yeah it removes a huge thing about it

But should public schools be able to set themselves up with a religious prayer system, honestly can't say, I don't think this is a smoking gun to go after trump on though, there's one type for that the school stuff for me is very sensible, in principle, I'm practise, well they'd different ofc .

Thanks again for genuinely engaging in good faith though

With the expansion of school vouchers in many states a lot of federal money is now going to support paying the fees at religious schools - schools where they are free to make decisions on how/what religion they teach.

Billions in US tax dollars go to private religious schools

Last year, eight states created or expanded voucher programs, and this year, Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri have approved or expanded voucher-type programs.

Hey mate, great post mate, cheers for proving my post accusing you of calling trump the anti christ and lying wrong

Again mate, terrific post, soo so terrific mate

Thanks now, bye bye

Bye

Bye mate

Really good post mate. Appreciate it. I’ll counter this with some vague made up nonsense that insinuates a lot without actually saying anything as I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
Enjoy the rest of the week

You get paid for being a [Poor language removed] or are you just a gleeful amateur?

Got anything to say it just playing to the chorus?

Enjoy your likes from the usual suspects, enjoy using someone else's picking up on a way of posting, not your own take - and from a poster who hates me in spadge nonetheless - nah you don't have any really original thoughts do you?

Funny how the supposedly liberal crowd are the worst for trying to turn on people in a pack though isn't it 'mate'?

Great post

and a lot of interesting points

For me, for the US - bury my heart at wounded knee should be a mandated read for example
The full causes for the civil war should be taught, not slavery was the reason, but slavery was a major factor and the other reasons also - a full understanding, but I e most history teachers these days probably would struggle to teach sadly.
the religion thing, I didn't know in the US catholic schools were feeling paying ones, in the UK they aren't , I went to one for example - but if schools have freedom of choice and as he stated he wants freedom for parents to move schools, then imo that is a good thing - unless a state mandates ALL schools MUST proscribe which is a worry I'll admit.

Absolutely agree on your point about civics and civic responsibility btw, it should be a fundamental thought for every kid growing up

There should be absolutely zero equivocation as to the fact that the preservation of the institution of slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War. The Confederacy even stated as such in their founding documents.

Any school associated with a religious organization in this country is private, and tuition based. Taxpayer funded public schools, which the overwhelming majority of American kids attend are “free” and at least supposed to be completely free of ANY religious prayer or teachings, as per the 1st Amendment. You attend the one you’re zoned for, which is based on where you live.

There has long been talk in my state of some sort of voucher system to allow parents to use their piece of the public school pie to take and out towards private school tuition, but I am vehemently opposed to this idea. That’s not the way public services are supposed to work and the public schools are already badly underfunded. Someone who lives in London and doesn’t want to use the Tube can’t go to TfL and demand a check for their portion to put towards buying a car. Same should go for schooling. If someone wants their kids educated in a walled garden devoid of minorities and lower income kids, or wants to indoctrinate them with certain religious beliefs, they should do so on their own dime.

Yup agreed but it's an oversimplified version to teach it as the only reason.

Different to the UK , as I said catholic schools are free and I attended one, didn't know they didn't exist in the US

There has long been talk in my state of some sort of voucher system to allow parents to use their piece of the public school pie to take and out towards private school tuition, but I am vehemently opposed to this idea. That’s not the way public services are supposed to work and the public schools are already badly underfunded

Can freely move schools here if you are unsatisfied with the standard of teaching.

Fair point made about the flaws of the moving system

Cheers for actually debating

Neither do I as you can clearly tell , bloody hell I even like some of your posts when we are diametrically opposed on the issue that seems to matter matter the most to us both if it's on something variating from that.

Another way of looking at it, someone trying to genuinely debate something getting snide sidetracking posts every time?
Never off the person they are talking too either...

Moral high ground probably ends around here. Or do you require a debate?

 

[bluestevon]

Good answer, so zero interest in any genuine interaction with me, just trolling.

A post in private takes the same effort as a post in public.
