No blacksno Asians is apparently a preference communicated in an assholeish manner , not racism . But let ' s just say it is racism . I ' m not going to sleep with you racism coming from individuals is far different than I ' m going to deny or rescind your rights racism coming from elected or appointed government officials . <| sep |> Yeah , pretty sad that theyre not getting that holiday spirit as much as Im feeling it , but I think I might still figure something out . Thanks for the response ! Happy holidays ! <| sep |> I really wish this was the top rated comment , as it succinctly explains a tough topic while avoiding political accusations on either side . I ' m a proponent of trying vouchers for my kid ' s sake , not to score political points . If it comes down to sending my kid to a public school because I can ' t afford private school , then she ' s getting homeschooled , but I ' ll still have to fund my local public schools . Somehow that is fair . Vouchers are a way for parents to exert control over their kid ' s education , and the parents like me who are adamant about that and involved are not going to settle for a crap public school if they can afford otherwise . In that case , those who suffer from the system are the very people teachers and admin say they are trying to protect by preventing vouchers the disenfranchised and poor who can ' t afford private school or to move to a better district . It ' s obviously a complex issue with a lot of possible pitfalls and solutions , but cutting vouchers out of the talk from the get go is not in the interest of students . It is to protect the status quo of public school teachers and unions who profit off them .
