Is that an issue at all? After passing an AP exam, their score is on record with the College Board. That score, rather than the course grade is what is used to decide whether an applicant gets credit instead of having to take an introductory course in college.

I understand. The extremely conservative, entrenched political culture remains hostile for so many of us freethinkers and to desperately needed fundamental changes.
Yes, yes, we’re all aware of how annual bird migration works.

I could see a few people (on opposite sides of one particular issue) wanting to ban any Geography class that has a map of the Middle East they disagree with.
Hell, labeling on a map of the Crimean Peninsula could be an issue, too, though maybe not as much.

You mean the ones who need two incomes to survive in our current economy? Those “lazy parents?” Education should not be reliant upon income. And, just FYI, some of the worst educational outcomes I have seen come from homeschooling. It is not a cure-all to anything.

This is of course the Republican dream – to leave everyone to fend with their own resources, so the rich thrive and poor drown. To hell with that. All functional countries have public schools, and some even have public universities, and everyone is better off for it. The only problem with them is that conservatives try to make them fail.

Literally no one in the US sends their child to public school to have a babysitter. That’s not a thing.

Similar to the damage the conservatives in England have done to the National Health Service. Bleed it of resources, slash pay for employees and then “Ooh, look, we told you socialized medicine wouldn’t work”. And all that money we promised you would flow to the NHS after Brexit, um, sorry - just lies.

That’s certainly the best way to keep concepts like respect or racism or equality away from developing minds.

This way, racism is self-perpetuating, just like MoRon’s supporters like it. No education to challenge these stupid, stupid ideas. I cannot express enough rage at this idiotic little man.

True perhaps… though, statistically, for a shorter duration.

This. You can see it in the rhetoric against student loan debt relief.
“I don’t want to pay for someone’s bad decision to study some major that doesn’t pay well.” AKA that isn’t engineering, medicine, law, or business.
Which is itself part of the movement against education. College isn’t friggin’ job training!

I live fine in CA. I know that my governor isn’t telling our children what they can say, who they can be, or what classes they can take for early college credit while attending public school.
But you do you in FL. Less tourists should be great for your economy!

… OK fine, so what are a school’s responsibilities then? Is there a list?
and how exactly will that school carry out its responsibilities if it DOESN’T EXIST

Why stop there when we can un-invent all of society?
Everyone can be responsible for hunting their own food and purifying their own drinking water and defending their own homes from marauding cannibal gangs. It will be paradise on Earth!
