Sorry, not sorry, public school apologists, the REAL taxpayer swindle is PUBLIC school (deal with it)

I know you guys know I read a lot of stupid tweets but did you know I also read a lot of stupid articles and op-eds? I DO. Every day, mainly so I can write about them and save you the click (and the headache from rolling your eyes super far back in your head). And this garbage from The Hill today calling school vouchers a ‘taxpayer swindle’?

REALLY?!

It’s hard for me to comprehend what sort of braindead lawn flamingo who likely ate a bunch of paint chips at some point in their lives would consider money following the student a ‘swindle.’ No no, you know what’s REALLY a swindle? Public schools and TEACHER’S UNIONS trapping kids in crap schools so they can continue growing their political power and lining their pockets with money. Giving kids a shot at getting out of horrific schools is not a swindle, it’s a gift.

And ultimately, one of the smartest ways to utilize tax dollars … literally investing in the student, not the system.

School vouchers are a taxpayer swindle that fails to raise achievement while eroding public schools and the principle of equal protection under the law outlined in the U.S. Constitution. If more states adopt school voucher systems, most parents will find their top choice — a neighborhood public school — largely defunded and unable to recruit and retain high-quality teachers due to a transfer of funds into unregulated private schools.

You know, if public schools are up to par they will be just fine. If not, either they will have to improve OR be done.

That’s not a swindle.

That’s how most businesses are run.

"You're not allowed to fire educrat union morons, burnouts and sociopaths. Now shut up and give us your money."

Great, go with that.
