2 Cor on the Democrats: "We become what we behold"

[PoliticalChic]

I would not shed a tear if it were outlawed. That is an entirely different matter than simple ideology.

Actually, it isn't.


Trump has faced assassination more than any other President: SIX ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE.
a. AI Overview
A North Dakota man, Gregory Lee Leingang, pleaded guilty to federal charges after plotting to flip President Donald Trump's limousine with a stolen forklift during a visit to Mandan, North Dakota, on September 6, 2017,
b. Michael Sandford who seized a policeman's gun, in Los Vegas, to shoot Trump
c. Thomas Crooks, in Butler, Pa.
d. Sniper Ryan Routh
e. Austin Tucker Martin "entered Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and gas can and ignored orders to drop his weapon before being killed."
f. The latest Democrat Cole Allen


Neither believe in the sanctity of human life, the hallmark of both American tradition and Western Civilization.

Yeah, most of that sounds like just American stupidity.

In case you haven't noticed, we've not had a shortage of it lately.

What "divergence" are you referring to?

Belief in the sanctity of human life, the hallmark of both American tradition and Western Civilization.h


And.....never end a sentence with a preposition. Didn't they teach you that either?????

If you're so sophisticated, you'd realize that this isn't a black and white matter.

Do you care about the children being blown to bits in Gaza?

OK.....I'll school you on that lie, too.


Have you been to the Middle East and the Levant?
I have.




About that genocide in Gaza...
"According to PCBS, which is based in Palestine’s West Bank and not controlled by Hamas, there were 2.19 million Gazans at the end of 2022. By May 2025, PCBS says, Gaza’s population was 2.11 million – a decrease of about 80,000 people or 3.6% of the pre-war population.

While they haven’t released figures for 2025 yet, the CIA is a little more optimistic than the PCBS. By the CIA’s estimates, there were 1.99 million Gazans at the end of 2022 compared to 2.14 million in mid-2024, an increase of about 145,000 people or 7% of the pre-war total.

So, Gaza has either shrunk by 80,000 people or grown by 145,000. Which of these figures is more accurate? We’ll probably never know. But the truth must be somewhere in this ballpark, which is several orders of magnitude away from the Holocaust or Rwandan Genocide. "

Comparing Gaza’s population data to the Holocaust, Rwanda, and Jewish expulsions reveals how misleading the UN’s charge really is. As […]

. Want to see real genocides?
Syrian Civil War.....over 600k slaughtered
Sudan some 400k
Yemen over 350k
Somalia sime 3500 with 40% children under 5
Congo 6 million
Where are the protests and marches?


What you think you know?
Yup.....it's all anti-Semitism.....from the Democrat Party.

It's not fine anywhere: have you seen the PISA chart?

You obviously have never studied educational statistics. I have a master's degree and I also taught and was a school administrator for 21 years. Most of the schools in our red states do just fine. I have taught everywhere from the top 1% to the bottom of the barrel. The top 1% was a DoD (what it was called then) high school full of military dependents on a US Army post. The bottom of the barrel was the worst school in KY as we were an inner-city blue school district. My classes looked like a meeting of the UN exploded into pre- and teenage boys. How I survived three years there was a miracle without getting fired.

I recommend a book on educational statistics by Gerald Bracey. He literally wrote the book on why these testing programs are a scam.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So sad that your folks didn't love you enough to homeschool you.

Most homeschooling parents are nowhere near qualified to teach a fish to swim. It is truly sad to say. Those who succeed are to be commended.

Admiral....the saying goes 'if the shoe fits, wear it.'

In your case, stop trying the shoe if it doesn't fit.

I have no knowle dge of your record, but my posts on the whole of government schooling is accurate and correct.

Some schools are good, most are not.

Some teachers are good, competent Americans..........most are not.

That is the crux of your erroneous assumptions.

Maybe so, yet they do a far better job than government school teachers.


Here's some real education for you:

Academic Performance

• The home-educated typically score 15 to 30 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests. (Percentiles range from 1 to 99 on these tests.)

• Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income.

• Whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers is not related to their children’s academic achievement.

• Degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement.

• Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges consider for admissions.

• Homeschool students are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.

The Results
Overall the study showed significant advances in homeschool academic achievement as well as revealing that issues such as student gender, parents’ education level, and family income had little bearing on the results of homeschooled students.

National Average Percentile Scores
Subtest	Homeschool	Public School
Reading	89	50
Language	84	50
Math	84	50
Science	86	50
Social Studies	84	50
Corea	88	50
Compositeb	86	50
a. Core is a combination of Reading, Language, and Math. b. Composite is a combination of all subtests that the student took on the test.

There was little difference between the results of homeschooled boys and girls on core scores.
Boys—87th percentile
Girls—88th percentile
Household income had little impact on the results of homeschooled students.
$34,999 or less—85th percentile
$35,000–$49,999—86th percentile
$50,000–$69,999—86th percentile
$70,000 or more—89th percentile
The education level of the parents made a noticeable difference, but the homeschooled children of non-college educated parents still scored in the 83rd percentile, which is well above the national average.

Perhaps you can explain why you support this homocidal divergence from American tradition.

Because some traditions suck and are unnecessary and obsolete in modern times.

Depends on who you asked. Some do well and some do not.

Here's some real education for you:

Academic Performance

• The home-educated typically score 15 to 30 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests. (Percentiles range from 1 to 99 on these tests.)

Those standardized tests are required for almost all public schools' students for accountability purposes but are optional for most homeschooled students. That invalidates any meaningful data. The term is called self-selection bias, and I doubt you have ever heard of it because it is a statistical term and you seem to not even know what the concept of an average is.

• Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income.

See the post above. Your data source is invalid.

• Whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers is not related to their children’s academic achievement

You know that is pure bullshit! Your source is biased.
Degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement.

• Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges consider for admissions.

See the first response. Self-selection bias.

• Homeschool students are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.

Not a fact, an opinion.

RESEARCH FACTS ON HOMESCHOOLING
http://www.nheri.org/Research-Facts-on-Homeschooling.html

Completed biased source. They damned sure supplied their own data for their facts!

Did you ever take a college-level class on statistics? Apparently not!

Normally on most topics, you really impress me with your posts, but on the topic of education, you are dumber than most liberals!

It's hard to feel concerned any more about the ones who aren't. We'll be busy helping the Lord remake the world when they're gone. Cool with me.

And if it turns out that you're the one(s) deceived in to believing you're the righteous one(s), but actually follow the beast and everything anti Christ, and are cast from this Earth, while the meek and humble inherit it, will you be surprised? Or did you know it all along but just arrogantly pretended to be the righteous?

Inquiring minds want to know.....

 

[IM2]

So sad that your folks didn't love you enough to homeschool you.

You weren't home schooled an you have bragged about going to a university that takes government money.

I'm glad I wasn't homeschooled. I would have missed out on what have been life-long friendships.

Public schools are fine everywhere. In general, overall governance is weak in red states.

Not really…blue states have horrible outcomes with public education

Take Baltimore for example;’ At 13 Baltimore City high schools, zero students tested proficient on 2023 state math exam
