    Okay, I’ll bite. In your view- How does taking money away from public school to fund more religious schools help students?

      They learn the TRUTH that the Earth is only 6000 years old and humans were made from dust. Obviously.

      It’s not all going to go to religious schools, there are private schools that teach kids without an emphasis on religion.

        Ok. So the same question - How does a private school getting public school funds help the students of the public schools?

        • @iopq@lemmy.world

          It doesn’t help students of public schools. But it helps the students who are now going to the private schools.

            And since they are private why should they be getting tax dollars?

            • @iopq@lemmy.world

              Because there teach students. When did our goal become to make public schools good instead of having an educated population?

                Public schools are where an educated population comes from.

                I tried to be nice and polite to get at what you were thinking but it is very obvious that you were not thinking at all and possibly are not capable of doing so.
