They'll just give vouchers for Christian private schools, who will charge as much as they like but it'll be an 'approved' school and drain more taxpayer money. Also sounds crazy when you realize the attendance in a public school. Basically funding Christian oriented schools.
Didn't downvote you and see what you mean, but your conclusion didn't really come out to their endgame. It'll be affordable to all, cause it'll be Indoctrination for Christian Nationalists.
you'll still have to pay a lot of money to get real education. I mean like these christian schools struggle with things like evolution, the age of the universe. So science education is something that will be expensive.
Its ironic that science classes were the only part of public school I enjoyed. I cannot think of something more sad and joyless than a bunch of adults teaching kids about their congnitively dissonent interpretation of the bible or whatever instead of being able to point at the sky and say "the light from that star is older than this entire planet"
Exactly, meaning most people won't. Leading to dumber, more easily controlled citizens. Easily locked into their 40-50hr/wk rat-race, happy for a meager bit of comfort, unwilling to take the risk involved in forcing real actual change.
That's the thing, they don't care if people have a solid understanding of science if it gives them power / more true believers. It's a completely backwards thinking that'll set back science for years, decades or more if it really takes hold.
If the strongest military power on Earth is being controlled by religious fundamentalists (aka heritage foundation) it is quite scary. Sure it'll take some time to widdle down the will of the people in charge (replace them) but given a bit of time it could easily happen and they don't just want to change their country they think their opinion is right for the world.
I also agree, I love science, I'm older but I still strive to learn new things, get excited by new discoveries it'd be a shame if that stopped cause people gave up on it, or if education failed people wanting to learn it.
And that's a good thing to you?
Absolutely not, no parent should be choosing between educating their child and feeding their child. Not only should children's education be free, there should be more meal support.
And yet you want only private schools where the more you pay, the better education you get.
Make up your mind.
Is that what I want? Did I say that somewhere?
Yes, I already quoted you once:
That was you defending your own idea after someone criticized the conclusion you came up with.
Here it is in context:
It's pretty silly to pretend that isn't what you were arguing for when someone can just look at the comments you made in the order in which they were made.
the implication is that privatization increases costs and lowers quality for social services like education and healthcare. Nowhere did I say this is something I wanted.
