Oooooooooopppss!!!
This particular subject, has always gotten my ire up rather quickly.
I have no power to stop a parent who wishes to retard their child's development or raise them to be under prepared for the world...but if I lived in Louisiana, I would make damn sure the state didn't use my tax dollars, via a voucher system, to promote or fund such insanity.
Those poor fuckin kids are going to spend years sorting all this shit out...once the real world demands their attention...and it's wholly unconscionable that people throw their children into a pit of ignorance. Just unconscionable.
It's had me riled up for years, Chuck. Don't you remember my arguments against home schooling with lil Mike?
Edited to include: Republicans don't want the citizenry smart. They want us dumb.
