So it is the middle-class/upper-middle-class parents who should be ashamed to user vouchers because they are practicing segregation. And it is also their fault that African American and Hispanic parents do not want use vouchers. Got it. https://www.in.gov/doe/files/Public-School-Digest-2023-2025.pdf FTD:

Yep, guilty as charged. Although only an idiot, or a parent looking for trouble, would enroll their non-Christian child at a charter school that had such admission requirements. Have you heard of any such event happening here in Indiana? It's not a perfect system, but it's a damn sight better than the government school monopoly that you support.

Things that make you go "hmmmmm".

Ok. Then I'll just have to take that you support the notion of government school corporations receiving all the taxpayer funded education dollars for every student within it's geographical district, regardless of how many of those students are actually enrolled in that school corporation. That's called "having your cake and eating it too", a idiom that organizations like the ISTA/NEA at least covertly embrace and support. As for me "openly supporting segregation", I support a parent's right to choose what kind of education their child receives, and the taxpayer dollars that come with it. If that is "supporting segregation" then so be it. I guess in your mind all parents who choose to send their child to a charter, private, or parochial school are "openly supporting segregation" as well.

Then, please, enlighten me. Then answer my question.

Actually education taxes are welfare for all, not just the rich. But you knew that. Let's propose a hypothetical and you tell me the logic in this: A government geographical area school district has 5000 school-aged children in it. However the families of 500 of those children decide to send them to a private/charter/religious/parochial school instead of the local government school. Why should the government school corporation still receive taxpayer-funded education dollars for 5000 children instead of 4500?

Then taxpayer monies for education are following the student, and not always to their geographically boundaried government school corporation. Working as intended. Good.

Extracting wealth from Indiana citizens to fund an ever growing state bureaucracy. Sickening.

So? Isn't this just high school football? Once again adults putting way to much importance on a game, played by children.

Go Braves. That said we all know these preseason polls are at least 50% a "reward" for prior season success. IMHO Rochester is probably the cream of the crop in the TRC this season, not Maconaquah.

One of the best BPT's in that state.

Any given Friday night....... And having to sometimes compete against the elements (wind, rain, cold, heat, field conditions, etc.) is just part of the game. But we all know it is part of the game that most coaches hate. They hate it because it is something they mostly can't control.

Go Red Wings. Gordie Howe forever.

I had no such vote. Did you? As for females in the BSA, meh. I'm generally ok with separate boys and girls troops, not so sure yet about combined or co-ed troops.

What part of the word "teenager" do you not understand?

Teenagers should be asleep at 5am. Part of the optimal sleep pattern for adolescents.

I sure hope their is nothing planned on these fake fields over the upcoming Heat Wave next week. The temperature of a fake grass field is 35-55 degrees hotter than a grass field. Somebody will get hurt.
