re: #113 ProTARDISLiberal

I saw her advocating for the Privatization of Schooling, which is a really bad idea in so many ways.

Of course, with me being a Social Democrat, I have a believe there should be a number of things that are state-owned & controlled. Utilities & Schools for example, among others.

I should note, many Social Democratic Parties belong to Socialist International. So, in a real way, I am a Socialist.

The other problem with that is with the poverty that exists in D.C, a big percentage of the population would not be able to afford said schools. The focus IMO should be on improving D.C’s existing public schools. And I agree with Joanne that merely saying things doesn’t solve anything. It’s my opinion that a strong public school system is good for the country as a whole because it fosters mobility.
