    Nothing, but it then can't be thrown in the face of liberals because those without the means or desire to make it are suddenly by themselves.

    Sure which is why all schools across all the distracts across the whole of the US have the up to date teaching resources, all the schools are maintained and not falling apart, why all the schools are adding programs that enhance the learning environment and opportunities and not woefully inconsistent from each other ...

    Government has been throwing good money after bad for decades. It's not a funding problem, it's a spending problem.

    Oh, it's kind of a huge funding problem through property taxes, or at least in was over the 1970s, 80s and early 90s. There isn't any question that, in the 1980s and early 90s, some public city schools were a scandalous, neglected joke. Most state legislatures have, over time, resolved some these issues, but we may decades away from reaping all the rewards of it.

    We're still paying for massive white flight and neglect of the city centers, which is to say we're still paying for the dumb-ass sins of white-on-black racism that held on in all parts of America for far too damn long.

    Charter schools are, in part, a reaction to the miserable means of how many states once funded public schools, with mediocre-to-poor adjustments for wild variations in property tax values. I don't agree with publicly-funded charter schools -- some of them fail and the ones that don't are, on some level, a lottery system.

    This is a great point, and very true.

    It's what I think is going to happen, and by the time the general election rolls around, "excitement" will be an overstated description. Voters' votes for Trump won't involve any more depth than the candidate's campaign has done.

    Hilarious in a good way, or a dumb way? Just wondering...

    Chicago forces lots of terrible white people to live in the city and pay taxes. It's done wonders for the public schools there.
