Private schools can push certain agendas to your minds for control easier than public schools. John oliver did a special on Charter schools and another on religious schools.
Louisiana was rated the worst state in America. They’re cementing that position.
This is fucked. They are allowing your tax dollars to be used for Christian Fundamentalist Schools. All that fear mongering about “brainwashing” your kids with CRT and the LGBT-agenda in public schools that never existed, and the Republicans are literally trying to push a religious agenda down the throats of this citizens of this state.
How long before girls are banned from the higher level STEM classes and instead required to take Home Ec and urged to be stay at home mothers and wives, you know, like Harrison Butker and his wife suggested?
We are fucking backsliding as a society…
We are fucking backsliding as a society
Conservatives are backsliding as hard as they can and are dragging the normal people down with them.
Conservatism is social cancer.
Religion is the enemy of social progress. Always has been, always will be.
Also a form of control for those on top
It’s worse than that. The money that goes to private schools is taken from public school funding. It’s just another way to further separate classes.
The dream of the right since public schools became integrated.
Let’s open a private school devoted to teaching CRT or some other boogyman they don’t like and funnel all our tax money there and watch them get rid of the law as fast as they can.
Sounds like a job for the Satanic Temple
And they’d probably name it something like the “Jeff Landry Satanic School of Science” or something too. chef kiss
I taught in Louisiana in an open enrollment charter school. The charter system there might as well be legal segregation. We were around 90% black students, while the much bigger nicer test-in charter school that we were right next to and could see through our windows all day was like 95% white. Guess what school got all the money, athletic fields, etc. our school didn’t even have a gym in the decrepit 120 year old building that was falling apart around us. The two schools were supposed to share the athletic field between them when they transitioned from public schools to charter (post Katrina). The white school built a fence around it blocking access to our students.
The whole charter system was a mess the entire time I worked with it.Guys? I’m starting to think these conservatives might be racist…
I want everyone to know the pain of seeing young black kids playing on our shitty little blacktop court yard with two broken ass courts like a fucking prison yard. And them being stuck behind that fence watching white kids run track, play football, soccer, just having a field. Before Katrina the two schools were a public middle and highschool that shared a sports field in-between them. Then the rightwing and left and everyone of them ghouls took advantage of a city crying for help and they murdered it. Fuck anyone that says a charter, private, or religious organization should take the place of our public schools, and get public funding. Instead of ranting I’m gonna type RANT🤬😤😠😥😮💨😢😞🤬🤬🫤😡🙄😥RANT RANT and y’all get it. I’ve been to the border wall between San Diego and Tijuana and it felt like that, people so close and completely shut away from me, and an oppressive presence watching over keeping you from taking those few steps to get close and talk through the barrier. I was young and naive still and thought that the civil rights movement won. I learned I was so wrong. Felt like Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider totally out of my element in a world I didn’t understand and about to be beat down by the realities of the deep seething malice under every action of the local and state government against the good and benefit of the people. Latoya Cantrell is a fucking criminal fucking off in Germany or some where that’s done nothing but criticize and mock and ignore the citizens of new Orleans while enriching her self through the office. She should be following trump in a corruption trial.
So does that mean that these private schools are bound to the US Constitution now? Freedom of speech, religion, etc?
I love parts of Louisiana but my god what a shit hole state
It’s bad enough that religions get to freeload and not pay taxes but now they’re trying to take our tax dollars to pay for their indoctrination.
Imagine being that one downvoter in the sub so brainwashed you think this is a good thing. Believing you’re persecuted as a Xtian and fighting some delusional battle for people’s “souls”.
I didn’t downvote it, but have you considered that it might be a good thing for students?
Okay, I’ll bite. In your view- How does taking money away from public school to fund more religious schools help students?
They learn the TRUTH that the Earth is only 6000 years old and humans were made from dust. Obviously.
Toss in a man’s rib, and you got a stew going
It’s not all going to go to religious schools, there are private schools that teach kids without an emphasis on religion.
Ok. So the same question - How does a private school getting public school funds help the students of the public schools?
It doesn’t help students of public schools. But it helps the students who are now going to the private schools.
And since they are private why should they be getting tax dollars?
Because there teach students. When did our goal become to make public schools good instead of having an educated population?
Face eating leopards: “have you considered having leopards eat your face might be a good thing for children?”
They’ve been pushing for this for decades, just like the abortion ban. They’re slowly getting all the awful things they want.
Yea this is happening in Tennessee too.
I guess it is time to let them try thier experiment. I think we all know how it will get twisted and perverted. But Louisiana is probably already a lost cause. Maybe we should provide financial assistance to people wanting to move from a red state to a blue state… kinda like internal asylum. It should go both ways of course.
I agree, the money will end up embezzled and/or the teachers/pastors will be caught having sex with the children. It may change minds, maybe not. Moving the people out is dicey though.
Cut their federal funding and use the money to relocate people
We’re been here before. People implement an extreme policy, the extreme policy makes life worse, then they say “the policy was good, but it didn’t work because it didn’t go far enough.”
Of course they will. But everywhere else we will know better.
