    If vouchers are for enough money to provide every parent with the means to choose a private school, I suspect there will be little interest in government-run schools, especially in poor communities.

    if a city is willing to spend the money without taking from public schools, have at it, raise the sales tax if needed

    Healthy food is less expensive than factory processed food. It just takes more effort to prepare.

    What would you intend to do with government-run schools if hardly any parents have their children attend?

    Probably way underfunded because there would be so few parents interested in supporting them.

    should be fully funded, as cost less money than before as a smaller school size, better teacher to student ratio

    I searched for her and I believe she is or was in some distant Country and not in the USA.

    "IF WHITE SUPREMACY IS A THING, THEN WHY?" Six white female academics have posed as scholars of color in recent years.

    https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/456649/

    " If being a woman of color is so oppressive and exhausting, as BIPOC scholars constantly claim, why are so many white female scholars pretending to be people of color?"
    Well, that's not the message. MORE Clout/resources if they pretend to be BIPOC?
    GWU professor who built career as black woman admits she’s white

    The unbearable whiteness of being an academic. “Why are so many white people claiming to be black or indigenous?”
    She is actually a fake.
    And a con artist.

    Feather Holding Performance Art Perpetuated Her Con.​

    Someone finally called BS and started digging: Bourassa, it turned out, is a white as a well-diggers ass.
    Her claims of existential struggle facing the ‘intergenerational trauma’ of her people, is more buzzword salad.

    She's not actually the "oppressed" POC she has been claiming to be?
    Catholic Book burning?

    [​IMG]
    Another White Leftwing Fraud Posing as an "Oppressed POC". How do they ever spot them?

    Weird how all the White Folks are trying pass as POC, where are the POC's trying to pass as White, if that's where the "supremacy privilege" is found?

    Supremacy come from early tribes who developed different technologies, many time superior to their rivals. Writing, for example allowed for an earlier transfer of information, there was also farming, and mining, etc. And before you knew it, schools were born. Those tribes with the greatest grip on intellect became the victors.
    To this day there are Stone Age tribes Bronzeage tribes, etc, who are completely happy being backward tribes. But they don’t thrive here.

    Yes...the grass is always greener on the other side. And then you get to that other side and you realize its the same puke green that your lawn is.

    It seems odd to attribute privilege to race.

    If there is a privilege that people enjoy that others do not get the typically isn't based on race I can think of none except for the privileges afforded to people by affirmative action.

    To say that white people are preferred or promoted or whatever is to say that black people are lesser. You can't believe in White privilege if you are not a white supremacist

    We all have the same amount of time. We make choices about how we use it.

    Last I heard she was still kinda of arguing that if she wanted to declare herself indigenous that her "truth" should be honored. I'm clear on racial appropriation but what is "gender appropriation"?
