It's interesting to see how the Republican poll illustrates how off base this sub is from reality: https://newjerseyglobe.com/presidential-election/sienna-poll-finds-chris-christies-gop-primary-base-joe-biden-supporters/

One thing the Democrats had going for them in the 2020 election was media control. This time around they won't have that. Republicans are more independent thinkers, unwilling to trust establishment media. They don't even trust Fox News anymore. Good luck controlling a grassroots social media effort.

🤣

Oh so you agree it's my money. At least we're on the same page there.

Interesting. I didn't know I could take the funds that my public schools get per pupil and pay that to my kids private school instead.

A lot of what you stated is subjective. Your definition of ignorance on a subject might be different than mine. Thankfully however, you did mention one thing that can be measured with some absolutes....

they need to learn about how their own bodies work so that they don't get and spread stds

I could be wrong, but it would seem most of the people here think that private education, selected by the parent, would result in luddites that, for example, can't figure out how babies are made. That somehow the parents are incapable of teaching their own children these things. Were that the case, I would assume that the increase in public education, and decrease in private education, would decrease the number of STIs that are occurring.

Huh. How is all that sexual "education" working out? Seems we're in worse shape than before. I think I'll let my kids be ignorant like me and teach them to treat sex as something to be reserved for marriage, like I was.

Educate your kids how you want. I'll educate mine how I want. Seems fair. Problem is, that's not enough for the left. They want absolute power and tyranny over others.

"Improper education". There is the crux of it. Your definition of improper may not be the same as mine. You think that you should be able to force other people's children to be taught what you want them to be taught, according to your political and/or moral standards, through the force of government.

I want parents to be able to decide for their own children how they are taught. I think parents of a child know better how to raise that child than a government bureaucrat.

Tell me again how I'm the Nazi.

Yes, let's also let parents decide what medicine they get instead of doctors.

As a matter of fact, yes. As a parent, I have the responsibility to choose what medicines to allow my children to receive.

And decide when their kids should be able to drive, not the government.

Yep. If my 17 year old is too irresponsible to drive, I can choose to not let him.

Parents have the right to withhold anything they deem to be harmful to their children.

Yes. Block the guy that doesn't agree with me. Seems reasonable.

Yeah. It's only the conservatives doing it.

How about we let parents choose the schools and literature that their children read. No no no. Can't do that. That would be fascist!

5. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion, please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

Wow. The updoinks.. Such quality discourse and amazing insight!

How is this entire sub not considered a giant circle tug?

There's been plenty of evidence that Hunter is creep with minors, just like his daddy creepy Joe. According to this sub, you have to prove innocence, so where is the proof that Hunter didn't?

Yes. Much better that we assume guilt until proven innocent.

Wait. When did we start talking about Hunter Biden?

According to the article the supposed witnesses were garbage. Even the prosecution thought their testimony wouldn't hold up in court.

Somehow I have to prove a negative, to prove innocence, and yet somehow the parent commenter can make unfounded accusations without proof and be considered legit, worthy of updoinks? You people are in a delusional echo chamber. What a joke of a forum this is.

Probably because it never happened.

Here's a link from what you might consider a reliable source: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/23/matt-gaetz-sex-trafficking-probe-prosecutors-recommend-against-charges.html

See here's how politics work: Make an accusation. Slander your opponent. Bring forward witnesses. Drop or lose your case when no evidence is found.

Oh. I didn't realize the term for pedophilic perversion had changed to "wearing makeup". My bad. I wasn't keeping up with the latest terminology. Please don't cancel me.

It's because liberal politicians here in the U.S. love to play games with words. When a word or phrase doesn't fit their political motives, they change the word or the definition of the word. There are literally words that we can't say in the US due to "politically correct" pressures, but if you were in any other part of the world, the same words would be perfectly acceptable. The "negative connotations" are completely overblown by the same people who wield the power of cancel culture.
