How come democrats are anti-education?

[SandSquid]

I think homeschooling can be the best option. But it depends on the family. If they can afford a parent out of the workforce. If the parent has the abilities to teach their child a college prep level education (or the ability to get them to someone who can).

I don't think a less educated workforce in today's world though is a better thing, and the last time the US had a large number of homeschooling was in the South where we had quite a bit of poverty.

Like or dislike public education, the countries that do not offer it, or shorten it I don't think set a good example of success without it. I don't think we should be looking up to Sub Saharan Africa, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan and the like for education reform ideas.

As for online only, I get the ease of it, but the ability to build social skills needed in life, would be lost. Sure, maybe sitting in front of your computer alone all day is the future world we want and will have, but I'd like to only use that option where the student fits the situation (has a social life outside school, sports, clubs, etc., self motivated, higher knowledge base). And I don't think it gives students who may need attention what they need. There's plenty of studies that online education in STEM courses does not achieve the same results as those in a physical classroom and increases the chance of dropping out.

Yeah but we need to stop automatically assuming that what the kids get at the hands of the nationalized, statist pits that are our schools, can be considered "an education" in anything like the traditional consideration. I think children are better served to spend the time they waste in middle and high school at HOME, regardless of whether or not they are getting anything like a rubber-stamped statist *education*.

I guess everyone is entitled their opinion. But there's a lot of people with children who believe some interesting things not based in facts and data.

Do you think more Americans growing up with their only education on law being from a parent who believes that Sharia law is the only way to go, improves the USA, or would a teacher that could also help influence that child's education on constitutional law be an improvement?

Do you think a homeschooled child whose parent believes in the flat Earth theory should be given full reign to teach their child science with no external science studies?

Or should a parent who is a neo Nazi Holocaust denier be the only educational source for a child learning history and civics?

Or a person who believes that new age remedies are the only solution to sickness. Does that cost America a great surgeon?

Like I said. Based on countries without state sponsored education and the changes that have followed countries stepping away from that, it seems like a very poor choice.

I am specifically talking about U.S. history.

Reading these threads over the past 16 years in these forums, liberals keep on saying over and over the same ignorant propaganda.

Its like have they ever even bothered to read a history book?

Examples:

1. High taxes and Unions in the 1950~1980

Why do they ignore WWII , the world was in ruins, the only standing country to produce was The U.S.A.

Why do they ignore the lack of regulations? Lack of government agency's like the EPA that was started by Nixion? Why they ignore the lack of Quality control..any one with a few bucks could start a company in a garage and build an empire?

Why do they ignore the fact no one paid those high taxes?

Why do they ignore the fact the world caught up?

Why do they ignore the fact no one wants to work for private Unions?

2. Why do democrats ignore their own history? What is the big deal?


How many democrats know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks -- 13 of them ex-slaves -- were elected to Congress, all as Republicans?

The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois. The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.




How many democrats know, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

This overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories. Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party -- not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it.

How many democrats know that blacks founded the Texas Republican Party?

On July 4, 1867, in Houston, Texas, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed the party. No, not the Black Texas Republican Party, they founded the Texas Republican Party. Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.

How many democrats know Fugitive slave laws?

In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law. If merely accused of being a slave, even if the person enjoyed freedom all of his or her life (as approximately 11 percent of blacks did just before the Civil War), the person lost the right to representation by an attorney, the right to trial by jury, and the right to habeas corpus.

How many democrats know Emancipation?

Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War. In 1865, the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100 percent of Republicans (88 of 88 in the House, 30 of 30 in the Senate) voting for it. Only 23 percent of Democrats (16 of 66 in the House, 3 of 8 in the Senate) voted for it.

How many democrats know Civil rights laws?

In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws. Every single voting Republican (128 of 134 -- with 6 not voting -- in the House, and 30 of 32 -- with 2 not voting -- in the Senate) voted for the 14th Amendment. Not a single Democrat (zero of 36 in the House, zero of 6 in the Senate) voted for it.

How many democrats knowRight to vote?

When Southern states balked at implementing the 14th Amendment, Congress came back and passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.

Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS' "American Experience" notes, "In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865." Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, became the primary targets of violence.



Jim Crow laws? Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on, in their individual states.

Civil rights in the '60s? Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.


Again I say..

Why are democrats so anti education?

Why?

Dems have had their claws in the education system for a long time now. History books have been changed a lot. Kids today aren't learning the real history. They get a version where many great people in history have been reduced to a footnote and others have been artificially elevated. While women deserve recognition, inventing things and downplaying the roles of men, particularly white men, doesn't give the whole picture. Our history was what is was and changing it didn't help anything. The leftist teachers convince young students that we've always been racist and greedy and we need to change. Socialism is taught as a positive thing while capitalism is taught as the root of all evil. I think that is why we have more violence these days. The new way of teaching history and the constant barrage of liberal talking points is designed to incite anger. The children don't graduate with high hopes for their future, they are often angry and instantly blame the wealthy and/or the racists if they have to struggle the way virtually everyone else did in the past.

They are indoctrinated and taught to love socialism and hate the country as it is. It's why so many colleges now need safe spaces and trigger warnings. There are still independent thinkers and they are treated like a huge threat.

The left indoctrinates because embracing their ideology isn't something that comes natural to people. I think we are born with an innate desire for freedom and liberty. Giving that up is something the people need to be slowly conditioned to accept over the years. True education, which empowers people, wouldn't get the results desired by the left.

socialism is simply fair capitalism always Democratic with a good safety net everywhere but GOP dupe World, GOP dupe. you're talking about communism like most dupes. Breaking no one is for communism in the United States or anywhere really unless they have a gun to their head or bought off.

Why?

The American problem has always been southern conservatives. They used to be in the Democratic Party until Nixon and Reagan. Now they are all in the GOP and they are full of s*** like you...Both parties had liberal and conservative wings until Reagan. The liberal Democrats passed civil rights medicare-medicaid etcetera etc with the help of liberal Republicans. Your party has changed and it is totally full of BS propaganda now.

Thanks to Reagan, we no longer have free or very cheap public universities anymore. Dumb and dumber is the GOP game plan. You have to be an ignoramus to believe their crap.

 

[Moonglow]

The correct word is "editions", you dumbass! Why should I waste time conversing with a moron? Apparently that is all I am doing.

Get a dictionary- addition is when you add rooms to a school-Jesus you are thick. Editions IS for books. If it is so important to you that you have the last word, then I'll give it to you-just post "sorry".

That is NOT what you said because adding additions to the school would have nothing to do with the availability of the book, which was just a deflection on your part in the first place! You fucked up and now will not admit it! KMA!

Tell you what-get another poster to read our posts and if they find I am wrong I will admit it-if they find you are wrong, will you admit it? Fellow posters, please join the conversation!

Yea,h, you can add additions of a book to the single edition in the library..

WTF are you talking about?

Additions to a book? What's the matter? You haven't proved your stupidity today?

We all decided to piss you off so you'd have high blood pressure.

 

[Moonglow]

please don't mention addendum to the Admiral(Rocky Horror)

 

[regent]

Sounds like public education should be eliminated.

Agree. Get your kids out and into those Catholic private schools where pedophilia and sexual assault never happen....


No wait...

Educate them at home, or come together with likeminded parents, like we did in the old days, when our kids were educated rather than brainwashed and turned into drooling retards.

Keep the kids who actually start out as drooling retards in the schools where they can be free to crap themselves and shoot things up to their hearts' content, and keep the normal kids at home, or in alternate situations, far away from the reprobates and criminals that run our schools.

Yep we now need a federal or state agency that declares kids normal or abnormal.

[koshergrl]

Cant understand how anti education became popular with Republicans, most people on this board went to public school & if they worked at learning they have or had a good job,& are doing ok? what's the deal?

The schools today no longer provide the same education that they did 30, 40, or 50 years ago.

Time to re-evaluate and defund the education system. It no longer performs the job we agreed they would perform.

 

[initforme]

That all depends where one lives. Our schools are doing great here. Leave them alone. The townspeople just unanimously passed a 5 year referendum to keep things going as they are. My taxes went up 44 bucks a year for 5 years....OMG how will I ever afford this? Small price to pay for what they provide.

When Southern states balked at implementing the 14th Amendment, Congress came back and passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.

Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS' "American Experience" notes, "In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865." Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, became the primary targets of violence.



Jim Crow laws? Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on, in their individual states.

Civil rights in the '60s? Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.


Again I say..

Why are democrats so anti education?

Why?

How many ill-educated Right-wing nutjobs know that the Democratic and Republican parties switched roles? How many know why? Or when? How many actually care about impartial truth..and nuanced views of history? How many think that spin and shouting deliberate obfuscations will somehow justify their pin-head points of view?

Democrats and Republicans Switched Platforms - Fact or Myth?

I could easily debunk 90% of what you have posted..but it would be a colossal waste of time..since I'm sure you know the truth..you just choose to ignore it in favor of spin...good luck with that. No one outside of your echo chamber is buying it.

Lol you couldn't debunk shit, don't try your KKK democrat revisionist history on me snow flake..

No one switched fucking party's except 3 .... For example Al gores dad remained a life long Democrat

You dumb-ass--do you not know that the historical facts I'm telling you have been the accepted truth for 50+ years..it is your bs that is 'revisionist' by definition..as you are proposing an alternate 'truth' not accepted previously. But you are just proving your errant stupidity to all that have have a brain.

Get a dictionary- addition is when you add rooms to a school-Jesus you are thick. Editions IS for books. If it is so important to you that you have the last word, then I'll give it to you-just post "sorry".

That is NOT what you said because adding additions to the school would have nothing to do with the availability of the book, which was just a deflection on your part in the first place! You fucked up and now will not admit it! KMA!

Tell you what-get another poster to read our posts and if they find I am wrong I will admit it-if they find you are wrong, will you admit it? Fellow posters, please join the conversation!

Yea,h, you can add additions of a book to the single edition in the library..

WTF are you talking about?

Additions to a book? What's the matter? You haven't proved your stupidity today?

We all decided to piss you off so you'd have high blood pressure.

FAIL. I m not pissed off and my blood pressure is fine.

You, on the other hand, will be a moron until the day you stroke out!

Moonglow doesn't have three different personalities. Three complete dumbasses cannot inhabit one body. They would kill each other!

Ok, I'll burst the fantasy bubble-look in the upper right hand corner where it says alerts. The alert will tell you who posted what post.
