I'm not going to respond to all of that strawman blabbering about social media, bad parents, and intelligent design. Those things have nothing to do with any of my comments.

The minute locals quit trying to jam things like creationism down the throats of children via school boards, come back to me. When you say local control, I see asshats standing before school boards making fools of themselves trying to pretend a scientific theory means guess. Again...no thanks.

I'm responding to your comment that we should just hand education over to the feds because Lousiana sucks.

Well...it does. Or are we going to argue about the sad state of affairs that is the Louisiana public school system?

I'm not ready to toss the keys over to the same idiots that run Amtrack and the Postal Service.

What was that you were saying about strawmen...?

We have no way of knowing if the outcomes would even be better, but somehow people like you just assume it will be.

No...I assume it can't be worse, because what we already have is horrific in this state. Again...if we were in a state that ranked even in the top half, you could make this argument with a straight face. Given we're lower 40's...? Nope, no solid argument for continued LA control can legitimately be made, and if it could you'd have made it by now.

My school isn't broken and I don't want politicians trying to "fix" it.

Your state's system is, whether yours or my schools specifically are. I'm happy about the change. You're not? There's always home schooling.

Where other Louisiana schools "rank" nationally is of no consequence to me.

Spoken like a true a-hole...
