Yes, because more of bad = good.

More state sanctioned education? Good grief. No way.

I applaud the intention of eliminating disclosures of race, ethnicity and skin color on all forms.

The Fill in the Blank- American thing is tiresome.

I suspect this will not go over well with minority groups.

My state and local taxes also need cutting.

Also, btw, they said the same thing when most of Europe privatized airlines. Then the airlines were privatized/the industry deregulated and airfares went DOWN and passenger volume EXPLODED.

False. We should be providing better education, regardless of quantity and regardless of provider. And for god's sake, stop wasting time on nonperforming students who are better off learning a trade.

Someone is trying to compel you to be gay? That's not good.

100% straight white male over here. I have no problem with recognizing and respecting people who are LGBTQ+, though. No skin off my nose....

Not sure why you replied to me. I pretty much said our current education system is a fail.

I would love some much stricter voter requirements thrown in like a federal law prohibiting felons from voting for life as a start.

Picture ID, SS# and a special voter pin# or no ballot.

Cut the number of congresspeople and Senators in half. Term limits.

Compelled language is the complete disregard of science.

Rick Scott you are now at the top of my most respected list

Is this the same Rick Scott who plead the fifth 75 times when deposed in a medical fraud case and whose company under his leadership was fined $600M? That Rick Scott?

I feel the same way. Although, some individuals , that partake in religion , have beliefs that differ. They shouldn't be chastised for it.
