"doesn't even matter anymore" .... Do you note your own arrogance on this,
german? You use past, unproven "events" of Democrats to make your own case, then turn around
in the same paragraph regarding Trump's lie of the century of Obama's birthright to say it doesn't matter anymore ... what the fuck is wrong with you?
Wow, you surely are detached from the realities of the world, aren't you? OK ... I know what I'm working with, here, so let me paint you the picture. I image coloring books are more your style anyways ...
In order to attend a private school, which is rumored to be a more quality, less crowded, more secure general education for *******, you have to pay between $25-45,000 to attend these schools ... supposedly these schools major in the specific sciences & arts of a ******* interest. The state supported voucher program pays up to 50% or so of these private school's tuitions. For middle & upper income families, this is an awesome deal IF there is a private school NEARBY that meets their scholastic needs. Here's the thing, however, lower income families are only earning $20-30,000 a year to begin with, usually have more than one or two *******, and live IN the inner city of the poorest citizens ... am I painting a pretty picture for you YET? Let me know if I need to S-L-O-W D-O-W-N, ok?
So, many of the inner schools are already under-funded in NC because the Republicans don't give a rat's ass about poor, minority families. So, these inner schools can't even give the teachers the supplies (books, paper, teraching materials in the quantities to supply their oversized student classes. The Republicans reduced the assistant teacher's jobs over 3-4 years ago, leaving one teacher to control classes with 30-40 *******, often in trailers because the public school systems don't have the money to update their 50+ year old schools, much less build NEW more modern schools. Are you still with me, german? ok ... we proceed ....
Science classes and libraries are the real jokes ... none of these inner schools can afford computers in quantities so ******* can learn at their own pace on their individual computers ... like having their own books. Co-incidentally, the libraries have fewer and fewer books, so the ******* have NO individual computers (often 2-3 ******* share one computer at a table) and the books in the libraries are books I probably use to read 30-35 years ago ... comprenda'?
The Republican Voucher Problem: So, you have poor families trying to come up with the funds to supply the remainder of the private school tuitions that the voucher programs don't cover ... the other 50-75% of costs. This coming from the poorest families in the state. So, these poor familes don't send their ******* to the vouchered private schools even if the private schools happen to be closer to home than the public schools, which is rarely the case. So the Republicans accomplish 2 things ... one, they cut down their spending on public schools, and two, they get to cut income taxes (once again through the Robin Hood trickle down economics) "tax cut for everyone" disguise.
Ok ... I'm sure there is some fogginess in your thinking right now ... but, please tell me how we're helping educate our poor ******* (co-incidentally way more of them than upper middle class *******) in our state? I have a neighbor who's a Principal of a elementary school, I'm taking her supplies all the time to give to the teachers at her school ... from the novelty handouts I have left over in my insurance meetings.
