Only to the uninitiated members of a cohesive and accepting society would it sounds that way, but do explain how my stance would constitute that assessment.

Oh you're one of those boot lickers.

Hello, SJA graduate here. Am I missing something recent? IIRC what public schools call “homeroom” some of us called “chapel”—that’s where the religious content ends, the name of an assembly building. Are you aware of any religious iconography, curriculum, anything?

It's actually a University and I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make, but it doesn't corollate with any of my statement. Would you care to clarify?

Elaborate, please.

No, it's not. It's like you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Have you ever seen what it's like to hold a teacher responsible for wrongdoing with modern teacher's unions? Unacceptable behavior gets you the year off with full pay.

Climb down off the pedastle, sit down on a blanket under a tree, and actually think for yourself.

Unpacking the nuance of the real issues that impact Vermonters.

There's a lot of good school districts within ~30 minutes of Barre that are not in the "super-super-expensive" zones of Montpelier or Stowe. MMU and CVU both have great reputations and cover big districts that include some cheaper areas and where you can get to Barre in 35ish minutes. Roxbury's a tiny town - it's not bougie like Montpelier - but they send their kids to Montpelier schools, so you get the good school district without the crazy real estate prices - if you can find anything for sale there (it's really really small). U-32 has a good rep as well and that covers a lot of the general Barre area.

VT public schools are generally really good compared to elsewhere. I totally understand wanting to avoid Barre city schools themselves, but the well-established big union school districts like MMU, CVU, and U32 really do deliver a great quality education.

Then they should get zero tax dollars.

Adventure Cat!

I don't think public dollars should go to organizations that don't allow public scrutiny.

Right now they can exclude anyone they choose

I suggest reading both official party platforms if you don’t think school choice is a partisan issue in Vermont

I also never called anyone a bad guy. I said Dan French’s job is to advance Republican education policy. That’s a fact.

And yes, the Democrats did do something about it back then. Guess what’s causing all this hullabaloo? The Supreme Court effectively overturning what the Democrats did

Are the private/religious schools required to enroll everyone, like public schools? Or can they refuse special ed and others?

They're not void of it, but it's a lot easier to hold them responsible for it.

You need a break from reddit.

Sounds like you're the type that would rail against separation of church and state.

Well hey if I am wrong it's all of your own fault anyways. She did say it's because of defunding the police:)

I never knew anyone that went to Liberty college and came out religious, must not be religious.

Wait!, frig, I don’t know anyone that went to liberty college.

Guy with what looks like weapon roaming around and they tell you to file online. Unbelievable.

I don't see the point of the linked article really. Why is school choice a republican thing? Even Scott's opponent Sue Minter was against the proposed rules per the article. Seems the so called mouthpiece of the governor was aligned with the dems as well. After all and ya Ill go way out on a limb and assume that at the time dems had control of all but the governorship they failed to advance any of this. So again I don't think that paints the guy in the bad light you are implying.

I hate when people think that they can imply "subtext" to deflect from their stupid takes on things they don't understand when they're clickbaiting.

The best part is you think only someone who is religious can think your ideas are stupid...Your next idea is just as dumb.

I will go ahead and reaffirm my previous comment. Just to be clear.

You heard what the Governor wants when Dan French opened his mouth. That’s what political appointees do.

But yeah, Scott is on the record supporting school choice.

I obviously wasn’t in the room when Scott selected French, but I do know that disagreement over this issue was a significant reason why French’s predecessor left, so it kind of follows that he was hired at least partially because of this
