Not saying I agree with that, but for the sake of the thread...

Because education and health care are two completely different things.

You're welcome.

How both are a "right" to the leftist?

Why should we not get as many choices as we want about it?

Unless they dont care about results but control over out lives, falsely believe they know better about everything then we do..

Both are a 'right' because I believe everyone has the right to health care and an education.

It's not that complicated.

Wouldnt that right to education be to be educated at the best schools available? Not "junk policies"?

Absolutely. That would preclude all fundamentalist Bible-thumper private schools. In fact, that would mean to preclude any private school that doesn't adhere to a (as yet non-existent) curriculum that we've decided is "the best."

Is the concept of public education a junk policy? It seems to work in the rest of the civilized world and works pretty well here.

We are #36 in Math in PISA score for 2012.
Each and every three years when PISA is given we decline more and more.

If the goal is "Race to the Bottom" then yes, we are doing pretty well to achieve that goal.


So you give the parents vouchers.
What's left in the public school system ....a juvenile detention center operating as a half way house run by union teachers.
Of course that won't be everywhere. Your high performing suburban schools will remain.
But your high crime, high failure schools will see the flight of those kids keeping the schools from being shut down and making AYP every year.

Please, this is a nonsense argument and you know it. You KNOW not everyone can get the best of everything, but you want to have some argument about that. Please.
