Public schools teach much, much, much more garbage than claiming the Loch Ness monster disproves evolution?

And this is coming from a school that accepts public tax payer dollars?

Can you give us all two examples of the much, much, much more garbage that you refer to?

You sound like just another scared, right wing, conspiracy theorist.

Believe me, the boogie man is hiding under your bed, and he's going to get you tonight!

Boo!

If you have to ask me for examples, you aren't paying attention.

And I can double guarantee you my IQ is higher than yours.

Fearmongering by the left? check

Many of the posts on CD are reasonable to use as a way to disprove the theory that humans have evolved

So.....do you believe in Nessie?

There is examples of where increased funding hasn't helped:

Money And School Performance: Lessons from the Kansas City Desegregation Experiment

Vouchers (on the other hand) undo all those efforts by siphoning even more money from cash strapped schools. They are the catalyst for accelerating a downward direction rather than a competitive impetus to improve.

....and if you provide vouchers to just the rich districts? In PA what they are proposing is to at first provide vouchers to the poorest districts in the state. the students that want to learn will be able to take their state funding to a private or public school of their choice. The better performing public schools will get more funding and the poorly performing ones go by bye.

Double guarantee? Wow. Well I can triple pinky swear that mine is higher than yours. So there.

No matter. My point has been made. Just as I expected, you've got nothing when it comes to actual examples. Just diarrhea of the mouth.
