I mean, duh

Foreign policy…

Wild times

I assume it’ll be contested

I’m with you. Education, in my opinion, is one of those things that’s too important to leave up to private. I don’t get the plan here, so really just trying to understand.

Yeah, I agree. Just trying to explore all viewpoints because I truly don’t get how people think defunding the DoE will fix things. The system has clear issues, but breaking it up and making it more expensive doesn’t seem like the answer either.

I assumed. That’s just the argument I always hear. If the IRS gets gutted it seems like the revenue wouldn’t be there to fund them anyway.

Could school vouchers and tax credits work?

Likely so

So increase DoE funding and decouple schools from property tax funding?

Seems so

Sigh…

Whats interesting about Canada is that they have largely decentralized education with success. I wasn’t aware of that until recently.

I thought Sanders did a good job of framing things around broad, working class issues that most people can get behind while still including minority groups without making that the entire focus. The Democrats’ shift toward hyper specific cultural battles seems to have cost them a lot of the middle.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Hawaii and as I understand it, most that can afford to do so, send their kids to private schools. Is that true?

So the schools are funded kind of centrally versus locally with property taxes?

Basically all I’ve seen from this administration is what they’re against (healthcare, education, diversity, environment/climate, science, equity, inclusion, regulations, etc.), but like, are they for anything besides the antithesis of those?

That’s mostly how it is now, no?

This is in Canada?

Good points. Thanks.
