So it’s funny that you say she’s been standing in the way of poor kids. You are an idiot, and probably won’t listen anyway, so for anyone else reading – I’ll stand in as her shill…<br /><br />Her work with homeless kids, as she stated in many of her speeches, was EXACTLY the reason she found that vouchers wouldn’t work. Take your average Title 1 school. Give them all vouchers – let’s see which private schools want to take the children with lice, with meth labs, with gang affiliate parents… You keep talking about getting children AWAY from these “dirty little creatures,” but don’t they deserve a chance too? You keep talking about getting kids away from schools that are overrun with gangs. What about fixing the problem AT THE SCHOOL? I mean – you will always have a separation between nice schools in rich areas, and poorer schools – but just moving poor kids to rich schools, that’s the solution? If you can move your kids to another school away from the “problem” kids – what’s to stop the problem kids from also being moved to the school you just moved YOUR kids to! That’s a wonderfully republican idea – maybe if we just move the problem will go away… Don’t bother trying to fix the problem at the ROOT! If the schools is bad, FIX THE SCHOOL!!! <br /><br />Anyway, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, and if you were the product of your elite private schools, it really goes a long way to show where the failing really is – if you are the product of your local public school, then maybe I’m wrong about this whole thing! But you still think you’re a genius, so…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824504.post-64309048883118747092009-03-15T15:13:00.000-07:002009-03-15T15:13:00.000-07:00Another excellent reason to toss the Nineteenth Am...Another excellent reason to toss the Nineteenth Amendment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824504.post-2888652593087326272009-03-14T19:47:00.000-07:002009-03-14T19:47:00.000-07:00Be careful what you say about middle aged women.Be careful what you say about middle aged women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
