Michael Moore’s New Movie about Government-Run Public Schools?

[luchabee]

Perry,

Your comments about not funding sex education are hilarious. Making an argument from an excpetion to the rule is a waste of time.

I’ve lived in a lot of crime-ridden urban centers in California, especially in Northern California. All of them were overwhelming bastions of liberal group think, teaching the latest in diversity, “tolerance,” and sex education. There was no condemnation for teenagers having sex; it was just accepted or encouraged. No condemnation for girls getting pregnant; it was accepted.

No, instead, they were blaming Bush for this or that . . . Not once was did I witness any conservatives advocating abstinence. There weren’t any conservatives there to begin with.

These are the same kids who can’t even read out of high school, but they educators thought they would reliably use birth control pills everytime or a condom everytime.

You need to get out more and come visit a big city.

“If we can all agree that the little angels are NOT “special”, and that teacher IS the authority, the problems will go away. It doesn’t have anything to to with the schools being public.”

We had quite the discussion on this in another thread. We are a lazy indulgent and apparently finger pointing do nothing society. I agree with you completely BTW. Education minded kids might have less births that they are not ready for. We don’t seem to really care if the kids are education minded or have good schools as long as they are not ours and for that we are part of the problem.

l-, PC is a part-time practitioner of Jack-in-the-Box ‘Angus’ sex, so this pregnancy stuff is Greek (good double entendre, jg) to him.

Yeah, you’re right PC: skyrocketing out-of-wedlock birthrates since the ’60s are caused by repressive attitudes.

Try correlating with ‘Great Society,’ instead: pay for motherhood, but only if the mother is unmarried.

Guess what? When you pay people to have kids out of wedlock, they do.

The reason why Moore won’t touch the schools is that he and the rest of the lefties are beholden to the teacher’s unions. They have a lock on policy in most states and give generously (with or without the teacher’s permission) to the democrats.

Doing a sicko type of piece on public schools is like shooting your own foot for Moore. He is more likely to go after private schools and how they promote religion, patriotism, etc.

On a side note, I grew up going to private through 8th grade then to public. I thought my public school education was ok, but there is no way my kids are going to one. The public schools in San Diego had deteriorated too much.
