Why is what's "required" a consideration? Almost nothing in modern life is required. You don't need AC, heat, refrigeration, video games, movies etc. NONE of that is a requirement and it all contributes to climate change

Just call it public funded healthcare or socialized healthcare. I'm assuming you believe it's a better option so presenting the positives of this system should be enough. I think cons should be presented as well though, because no

No. Schools have MORE than enough money, they're just run by morons that don't spend it wisely and instead bolster admin pay and waste it on stupid seminars by grifters like Ibram Kendi. https://www.newsweek.com/p

Why do you assume the money would be taken away from the public schools? Is it because they suck? If so, you're right and it should be taken away from them. You don't improve if you aren't answering to anyone. If they're

Because public schools are garbage and I say this as someone who has a wife that's a teacher and a mom that taught. They don't prioritize getting good staff in the schools. Instead they prioritize things like DEI, thousands on stu

You would be, since you can't even define what the word equity means. Emotional idiocy in the name of "fairness" leads to the worst atrocities imaginable.

Everyone is not aware of it that's why I'm saying it. It's a deliberate use of the word free to confuse and gaslight people. There are many people out there that are 1 dimensional thinkers and can't think past a few step

No, it implies that it's not possible lie if you're left wing and if you tell the truth then it must likely be left wing. Mainstream media is almost all left-wing and all of them lie or omit truth.

Equity is an outcome. You're suggesting we FORCE an outcome and apparently you don't want to base it on legacy. So, what are we basing the forced outcome on? Race? Victim-hood? Gender? Class? Are lower class people of color more d

I'm not talking about the article. I'm referring directly to the comment chain about "free" healthcare. Regardless, taxes are NOT FREE. College will never be free, you can only pass the cost on to someone else. Somewhere

This is like agreeing with a judicial that treats people as guilty until they're proven innocent. Bad things happening in some cases is not justification for treating everyone as a criminal. That's how totalitarianism starts.

It's not free for them, it's being taken out of their income to the point their salaries are significantly lower than the US. This is like saying if I pre-order a game and then play it when it comes out I'm getting a free gam

You're just reinforcing his/her 's point. It's not free. You're forcefully taking money out of people's pockets to support the system.

Giving out legacy admission is Equity. You're giving "legacy" people the same education as people who earned it through merit, which is the definition of being equitable. Unless, you believe equity only applies to race? Equal

Do you realize how "free college" works in other nations? Not everyone gets to go. In places like Germany you're put on a track when you're like middle school age and if you're not on the university track you do not

You must have skimmed the article because it said over and over that it was basically impossible to definitively identify that a baby was shaken. It's a diagnosis they use when they're not sure.

Almost every issue on the 2A they discuss is untruthful. The Rittenhouse case comes to mind immediately where they lied about all the encounters that were proven wrong in court. They avoid anything that makes the left look bad. Lying by omi
