LMAO Weren't you the poster that claimed no election denial by Democrats?

Modern GOP in a nutshell.

Party Animals? I mean who would want to be partying with hotties and thugs?

Oh yeah, try to imagine the divorce rate when those redacted names in the Epstein files are finally made public.

I thought just the victims were redacted. Whose name is missing? Because we know quite a few people that were with Epstein.

And Hillary didn't divorce him either.

Why do you claim to live in California if it's so much worse.

Part of my VISA, hard to impossible to switch companies.

Not by any objective metric.

Income inequality.

Your people came up with " minor attracted adults " trying to make it normal.... So shut it..

Texas Republicans are running on fixing a state they've been in charge of my entire life.

This doesn't stop California Democrats who are going on 25years of control. And I must say California is much worse off.

The "pretend" is that he didn't have any Internet, thats what I stated. He couldn't drop a video? He could say hey on X or BluSky?
To go completely dark for 13 day, of course people are going to make up things, the silence just proves something is wrong.

Why allow the stories to go non-linear when there's an easy solution to the problem.

Parents can just... move.

Thats not the question you asked, this is a dishonest response to an answer regarding your question about where "school choice" is a thing.

People move to good schools all the time, thats why there are rankings.

But as I enumerate in #38, you need school choice in Public schools that are poor because the students are so poorly behaved.
If you want better chances for poorer kids, given the rules Democrats and Unions have created, you need to have "school choice"
There are of course better ways to handle this, but you probably voted against it.

It's not difficult to see how conservative "values" and Republican destruction of public schools are making America weaker.

idk Clownshack seems like public schools are doing that to themselves. Not sure how spending $33K per pupil is a destruction.

Perhaps you could actually enumerate how the schools have been "destructed".

Is this another thread dominated by morons who have neither been a teacher nor a parent, but seem to be experts in education?

Yeah but we got AI! Just dealing with schools is a hassle.

Why are so many administrators needed, you might ask as a parent myself let me tell you ....

Students are behaving poorly. When there is a poorly, I mean antisocial shoot the teacher type poorly it triggers all sorts of administrators.

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA): An evaluation requested by parents or school staff to determine the root cause of the behavior.
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP): A customized plan built from an FBA that outlines specific strategies, replacement behaviors, and adult responses.
504 Plans or IEPs (Individualized Education Programs): If the behavior is tied to a disability (such as ADHD or emotional disturbance), the student may qualify for specialized accommodations, counseling, or a formal team review under federal guidelines.
Parent Consensus: When a child's behavior repeatedly disrupts others, the school's typical progression moves rapidly from parent-teacher conferences to counselor involvement and formal administrative intervention.

EIPs are a teacher and administrator time sink and gravy train for specialists .... the whole thing spirals into a disaster for all the other students. 14% of students in Fresno unified have to have IEP plans.

Each IEP student requires ....
School Psychologists: Conduct cognitive and behavioral evaluations to form the foundation of the plan.
Speech-Language Pathologists & Occupational Therapists: Write specialized goals and service trackers.
Special Education Case Managers: Synthesize all data, type out the final multi-page plan, and coordinate compliance tracking.

This all degrades the education a child in a poor neighborhood receives, it also takes money away from poorer districts.

American Kids are temper tantrum tornadoes.

Show me with real examples from where "school choice" is a thing.

Cupertino.

Seriously, your opinion of my posts counts for zilch.
Your posts, however, are exemplary howls of MAGAt insecurities.

Seems like the bellringer hit a little too close to the fairy bell.

Republicans' inability to progress beyond basic victimhood seems reflective of their stunted emotional maturity, a notable characteristic of the MAGA cult.
- DocTheQueerSarvis

This true of Democrats as well.

This isn't the retort you think it is.

Tell us about the parents who publicly threatened murder.

Pretty common actually for school board meetings. Usually handled at the local level.

Do your research.

Here is the response from my prompt "How much money did the NEA spend to get rid of the SAT"

The NEA is a massive organization with a budget of roughly $450 million, dedicating over $50 million annually directly to political activities and lobbying. Instead of writing checks to universities (which are independent entities and cannot be directly lobbied like politicians), the NEA influences college policies indirectly through:

The "Demand Colleges Drop Testing Requirements" Campaign: The NEA uses its core operational and digital media funds to run grassroots advocacy initiatives. They provide tools for their three million members to flood university admissions boards with letters and petitions.

State-Level Pressure: The NEA's most significant wins against the SAT happen via state affiliates that lobby state governments. For example, local teacher unions heavily backed the legislative and legal pressure in California that ultimately pushed the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems to go completely test-blind.

Its fascinating to me how people can't see the trend that started in K-12 to end standardized testing and that would eventually end in wanting to get rid of the SAT.

For a more "holistic" admissions process.

I posted the same question to AI about the period between 1980 and 2020. Just not seeing a lot about the power of teachers' unions yet.

You need to use your head. Sometimes people need to realize the propaganda that their AI requests generate.

The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have long opposed standardized testing in K-12 education, and they extended this position to college admissions.

Well in California being on the Bar is voluntary, this is true of many States.

I have come across some people who have earned a law degree to further their careers, but they are still not permitted to use the protected titles "Attorney" or "Attorney-at-Law" unless they have passed the Bar exam.

Depends upon the State, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington you just need to graduate from an accredited law school.

When I posted about CA getting rid of Bar exam to be a lawyer, many people here claimed the exam wasn't needed, luckily the CA supreme court stopped it to keep its monopoly.

Well this is the result ... just mayhem, this is what Lumpers want people claiming they are anything because otherwise its oppression.

In the end everything is an illusion, 100% of Americans are insane. You gave the nuclear football to a senile man for four years, and people here will defend it.

How big a fishing trip was this.

idk ... its one of those no one is above the law kinda deals.

I think this is something that came up with her before, anhow.

She filed a 1981 birthdate, but then started claiming 1982. Opponent claimed she's lying, so she then changed her filing to 82.

This is significant because under the immigration rules applicable in 2000, a child needed to be under 18 at the time a parent naturalized (and meet other conditions such as lawful permanent residence and residing with the parent) to automatically derive citizenship.

Thus making her one year too old for gaining auto citizenship.

So she would instead need to naturalize INDEPENDENTLY as an adult. Which she never did.

If the feds can prove she LIED about her age on her naturalization documents (82?), and she was actually an adult, it's likely deportation for her.
She'll be going back to Somalia.

This is what I am hearing.

And thats the kind of world these maga maroons are trying to create.

The guy that threw the punch was a Muslim, or so I hear. Does that change your calculus

Such a fine example to set for the kids.

The kids...

She's too old to be probed by Trump.

Bill Clinton?

Almost like they're desperate to deflect from Ken Paxton headlines like:

It certainly would be a good play.

I was really surprised Talarico was claiming he was at home. Doesn't he have Internet?

Just seems quite odd, running for something in a tight race to just disappear for 12-13 days no appearances, then claim the flu on day 14.

What makes this so funny is that it's Ken Paxton, the guy impeached by Texas Republicans for corruption.

Well it is Texas ...

Pro tip: HIPAA doesn't allow medical facilities to confirm treatment or give details. But correcting a lie about a non-patient IS LEGAL.

You should really ask a pro before claiming a "pro tip".

HIPPA does nor prohibit medical facilities from saying they were admitted either.

There's this total misunderstanding in a lot of Christianity that assumes that Israel good, their enemies not so much.

No one has said it was always good, what does infantile mean to you? What is my description, that Christianity and Judaism evolved from the cruel colonization tendencies (California Missions), to what it is today, submissive to democratic societies.

That being said, exactly two weeks from today 1.2 million Arab Muslims will go to the ballot and exercise their right to vote.
In Palastine?? No! similar to other Lumper supports countries, the Palestinian Authority has canceled ALL ELECTIONS.

But In Israel, where there are 15 religions, and all those religious people are citizens enjoy full equality in elections, and before the law, regardless of their race or religion.
Tell me more about genocide and apartheid.

Tell me more about how you support Democracy, womans and LGBT rights when you support Islam/Palestine over Israel?
I would have thought the Western world would have understood after Charlie Hebdo, but clearly you can't see the signs where you're headed.

I would take an Israeli government over Islamic theocracy any day of the week! You??

So you're saying Turkey is committing genocide.

This is just one example of an Islamic country, slaughtering and eliminating religious people within its territory.

There's many other example of Islamic countries slaughtering Jews and Christians, its completely ignored by you.

Its what the religion stands for, its not a religion that want plurality of opinions.

I have stated multiple times, maybe you'll listen this time, Islam is a infantile religion, much like Jewish and Christian religions used to be many centruies ago.
But Jews and Christians changed their religion, and Islam did not. Islam has to be the "government" in a country, and no other religion can coexist in any numbers.
Jews and Christians don't have this requirement. Its why the Druze are such an outlier and actually fight in the IDF.

Islam must change for the West to survive.

If you're willing to concede that Hamas was committing Genocide against Jews.

I am willing to concede that the IDF is committing Genocide against Hamas.

Did the population of Gaza drop by 10% AFTER October 2023 and the start of the War?

Gaza, but not Palestinians. It was a war, 10% not sure, but certainly people died.

This does not make it a genocide.

In fact hamas in a tunnel 100% of them died after october 2023, is that Genocide? No its war.

#29 *sigh* you're boring, you just make stuff up.
