School Choice

I joined this site to observe what nonsense conservatives could give for their opinions.
I taught school for eight years before going back to school and entering the medical field. The problem kids I dealt with were like that only because their parents were derelict in training them before they entered school. Schools get what they get. (Sounds like Rummey) Parents let TV be the plugged in drug, spend little time with them being examples for good behavior, drink and smoke and than wonder why the kids grow up with abuse and can't control either. Few parents have a good communicative relationship with their children that are trouble makers. Society then expects the schools to turn their little monsters into model students. One of the facts that few really understand is that children, after they enter school, recognize that their peers are going to be the ones they will associate with the rest of their lives and even though parents will somehow attempt to force them in a path of acceptability, when the situation arises that the parent has no longer a hold these children, they will do as they please. You don't want sex education taught? Well, they will get sex education from TV, peers, music, movies, and advertising and any other source that is available. You conservatives won't like it but that's the way it is. You play a blame game that doesn't fly in the face of reality. Schools that teach "abstinence only" still have students having sex. Areas where the most churches and most abstinence taught have a high rate of teen pregnancy.
You send young soldiers into battle and few of you have ever been in combat. Viet Nam should never have happened. and if you spent the time to dig into the research on the events during WW II in Asia you would find out the allies betrayed the Vietnamese people and subsequently 50000+ soldiers died for "belief in domino theory" that was nonesense. Now America is embroiled in a Middle East debacle because neocons, conservatives and stupid Democrats didn't take the time to research how American Foreign policy underpinned the events that have more American soldiers being maimed and killed to satisfy the greed of the military industrial complex, (General Dwight Eisenhower warned America and was ignored) and oil companies that are bleeding the majority of Americans and small business dry due to high prices which just allow these oil companies to get higher and higher profits. Alternate energy sources has been thwarted by conservatives and we could thumb our nose at the Middle East if the tax money America spent was used to place solar panels on every house in the sun belt. My energy costs came down from $500.00
per month to about $150.00 or less. You jump on Liberals but have no ideas that are better. You just criticize liberals which is typical of both liberals and conservatives or any other person when they don't have a better way of dealing with the issues that really face America instead of wedge issues such as gay rights, abortion, flag burning, or any other issue that distracts the American people from looking at what really affects them like job security, health care, loss of children in war, corrupt politicians from both sides of the fence, Loss of freedoms to make own decisions about what we watch read or do as long as that behavior doesn't effect others. Don't throw religion or morals at me because a madame Madame in Washington DC is under indictment and there are many politicians and other persons of high standing that used her services. Livingston, Gingrinch, Hyde, and other politicians were hypocrites when it came to “family values” I would bet the farm that there many more. Even your Bennett admitted a gambling addiction. Moral value?
I’m going to stop but I am getting sick and tired of conservatives of both political stripe telling what I should do and how I should behave when your all total HYPOCRITES.
