I pay tax money so that kids can be educated. I believe I should have the choice to send my child anywhere I wish, and if that isn't a public school then they should either give me a voucher or make me exempt from paying the school tax. - AnarchyIsOrder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I don't exactly agree with Sobran on this one or on much in general, but I did find it an interesting read.
- pawchikapawpaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2so now that we've convinced everyone that there is a provision in the constitution that says "the church and state should never, ever be together", i guess we're moving on to "private schools and church" should never ever be.
what a moronic and elitist pap article from a very simplistic and childlike perspective. despite the fact that private schools from any denomination (and homeschooling) outperform their public school counterparts by leaps and bounds, let's demonize their religion because secular education solves all the problems in the entire world.
news flash to joseph sobran: it's a private school. their minimum curriculum is the standard in public schools. it is their prerogative to teach other academic endeavors such as theology.
meanwhile, let's leave the 17 year old kids in their 2nd grade reading comprehension stupor with a strong dependence on a calculator to do basic math because private schools don't recoil to someone's mention of god. yep.
dmb n s2pd doodz 4evah, as long as the word god is scrubbed free from every book in history. because that is the biggest offense of them all, not all that book learnin' and rithmetickin'.
elitist pigs. - brlittle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fair enough. I don't agree with him hardly ever. But he _is_ a good writer, yes.
- brlittle, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Joseph Sobran: Wrong as usual.
