POLITICAL THREAD

KY Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that the KY Constitution says no public money can be spent on any schools but "common" schools, meaning monopoly public schools only. That excludes transportation to non public schools. This amendment removes that constitutional restriction & leaves it to the Legislature to decide how & where to allocate our tax money for education.
I think your position/knowledge level on the subject is why many Trump supporters & conservatives aren't currently supporting it. It's a dam shame.

Not to me. Parents would fix schools with freedom to choose. Much more likely to get change that way than keeping monopoly schools.
Regarding millennials, it's overwhelmingly the women who vote Democrat. I think it's somewhere like nearly 70% of female millennials are Democrat whereas the men are about 50/50, 45/55 Dem.
Women are overwhelmingly emotional and low info voters and they're the primary voting bloc of the Democrat Party, simplifying everything to be about abortion. Our education system is overwhelmingly women thus creating more and more little foot soldiers for the left. Then the left has focused on race hustling and pandering to the black community by telling them how much they're owed and they're victims, and then for the last few decades, have imported government dependent people here to overwhelm any opposition.
Demographics matter. The voting public is comprimsed of informed people. It's tribalism. With one party controlling media, entertainment, and academia, it's no wonder thing is why things are the way they are.
Meanwhile, you tell 'em, Donald.
Trump demands Kamala Harris takes cognitive test, says ‘totally bonkers’ word salads suggest something could be ‘very wrong with her’
“I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility,” the Republican candidate, 78, fired off in a Truth Social post.

McDonald's fired it.... Before it hired it..
Thank You George Soros.
It's called the dumbing down of America.
Yeah, they are still around.
Its definitely tricky. Iirc you vote yes if you are in favor of the amendment allowing essentially school choice.
If im wrong someone please correct me. I havent yet saw the wording.
If the money is tied to enrollment, it will achieve the same outcome. Even more efficiently imo, to the extent government and efficient can be used in the same sentence.
Ghost writing kamabla’s book so she could get her disguised bribe would have been one of the easiest jobs in the world. Could have just smeared shit on the pages.
The one single thing you couldn’t do is plagiarize to write a book no one would ever read. The only time anyone would look at the words of if they were trying to take her out politically.
When there’s no accountability, like we see with democrats, the incompetence is amazing.
Exactly... They're idiots
We disagree. That's ok
The illegitimate regime in DC is bought and paid for by China. That's why they are always yelling about imaginary Russian squirrels.
Ha. Which one of the “Sam” posters droned on ad nauseum about how the border patrol backed that shitty bill so everyone should have supported it. I guess he’s voting for Trump now.
VOTE YES if you're for school choice
VOTE NO if you want status quo (aka this is what Democrats/Teachers Unions are pushing for)
If interest is deductible, then that person can purchase more stuff. That generates more revenue, employment, etc.
But it seems like you think the fed govt, or any gov't, can spend that money better than citizens.
You have a knowledge problem.
Not necessarily. Often times where I live, the bad kids got kicked out of public school and have to go to private schools. I've seen many kids in that situation.
So? You are still paying x dollars like you were before. If it went down that way, how is Wayne worse off? Regardless, the public money should follow the child. If a group/school wants to add to the public money, they should be able to.
That is what will happen. There won’t be a stagnant total of schools. If the current established total of schools raise their tuition, so be it. It doesn’t affect me. I’ll worry about my plate.
My public district spends $13000/child. If my church can receive half of that, we are opening a school.
You do realize who’s running the current show? It’s not in their interest to do any of that.
The people that could bring about change and bitch the loudest already pulled their kids from public school. That trend isn’t changing either.
Impossible now. If you thought this system was messed up before Covid, watch out. This shitshow is just getting started.
Those preK-2 kids that were taught to read/write during Covid are now upper elementary/middle school. The mask bullshit has consequences. When you can’t see your teacher’s face, it’s kinda big deal. Add to that trying to learn over a Chromebook at home.
In my wife’s grade level, there are 15-20% that cannot read a complete sentence. New concepts are still being thrown at these kids at the same rate like it was pre March 2020. I can’t imagine being a lost child like these are.
The number has grown so large that admin doesn’t know what to do. The problem is too big to hide, but it’s mostly shrugged shoulder time.

WSJ subscriber here. I read report yesterday and could not believe it.
Your wife is in 2nd grade?!? Do you have a really good lawyer or something?
The reason why the younger male numbers are so high for Dems is that they are prey for tail, or begging and praying for tail, instead of hunting it. It's amazing how many males born after 1980 I've seen that can barely talk to women much less get a date. They have no skills. No depth. No cahones.
The only way most will ever date is if they manage to be within reach of a female coworker or classmate on the rebound. Maybe that's why they identify with the cackling hyena. They're scavengers not hunters. They're subservient instead of leaders. We had those in the 60s and 70s, but not to the vast extent they exist today.
They are afraid to disagree with a female. They're afraid to walk away from a bad relationship/date. They just want to sit on the couch making podcasts all day trying to get a response from anyone
This, too, is war, and most just don't know it yet
No sht. We weren't talking about private schools
You all do know, if they lift the SALT cap, make auto interest deductible, etc. they’re going to bring back AMT at lower limits and wipe out those deductions for most of the middle class, right?
If you listen to the guru's that have some sense, it's Trumps to lose.
One of my kids was in preschool when they shut down for COVID. Then their kindergarten year was remote until February of 2021. Then it took well into 2022 to get the mask mandate bullshit finished. This had negative effects that was less detrimental to their older sibling. I had to spend hours each night to get them better at reading and writing to be caught up to where they would've been if not for the government's interference.
Many teachers will tell you that it had a huge negative effect on the development of kids during that time period especially for kids who did not know how to read or write and need to see a teacher's mouth.
Everyone knew it wouldn't change, even if people biched. They have been and it hasn't. Schools are daycare for most parents. They just want them somewhere "safe" and have for 20yrs. That's the real reason schools have gotten this bad.
My buddy has a kid that went through a semester of that, but they tightened their belts and put them in a private school mid stream/covid. The kid fought through it and is doing well now even with the more difficult private school curriculum. Made a huge difference. The kids that went a whole year with it and THEN entered the same school are having all sorts of issues. Night and day difference.
The only answer for the public schools and those kids that fell behind is to scrap part of their useless ("worksheet") curriculum, and spend that time with the kids in intensive reading out loud sessions. Throw away the "10min of teaching, 40min of make work stuff" and really work with them on reading.
I know they won't do that, but they need to do it. It's not impossible, it's just unacceptable for the people that caused it.
Sorry if already posted. Been out on business travel so trying to catch back up knowing that a lot of you depend on my insight and commentary. That said, its good to know that Horse Dewormer/fish tank cleaner appears to be a cancer cure. But the left will no doubt prefer you die of cancer than to be forced to admit that drugs off-label have other benefits.
How much more food can Musk consume than you in any given day? Now, how much richer is he, than you? Joey Chestnut can't eat that much.
