You ought to be ashamed of yourself for wanting to condemn poor minority kids to failed schools. This is sick.

Not everyone can afford private schools or can afford to move to places with good public schools.

We liberals think it is a terrible idea to weakens a robust necessary public school system which is essential to a strong fair society.

Private schools are fine, but not at the expense of a good public school system.

It is a difference of philosophy.

You mean a robust union.

weakens a robust necessary public school system which is essential to a strong fair society

Government schools may have been the primary agent in destroying the most successful social organization ever known.

koan, You liberals believe in maximizing the flow of money to teacher unions and then kick back contributions.

You liberals do not give flying damn about kids education.

Do you not accept that competition would help improve the quality of all schools?

Competition isn't at the expense of public schools, it helps drive them to get better. One of the reasons they are so bad in many places is the lack of competition.
