re: #200 GeneJockey

I once tried to find the basic common ground with a bunch of wingers over education. I started with what I thought should be uncontroversial, especially since these clowns talk about ‘equal opportunity, not equal outcome.’ I said that I thought that the quality of a child’s public school education should not be a function where that child lives.

That seems pretty straightforward to me, and very much ‘equal opportunity’. You shouldn’t have to live where they have ‘good schools’ to get good schooling.

They couldn’t even agree to THAT!

Of course not. It’s how they justify paying a higher mortgage and living in a gated community.
