This is why the standard compulsory model of education will always be at best a waste of time for most students, most of the time, +actively harmful for a significant % of students as they divert their tremendous energy into avoiding the coerced reality they find repugnant.

#AffordableEducationOptions #ParentsChoiceIsSchoolChoice All teachers and schools are #EducationServiceProviders just as doctors and hospitals are healthcare service providers. You can choose where your children receive healthcare (insurance, state provided coverage, Medicaid).

HEAVILY WATERED DOWN. Does not affect 75% of public schools. Also, Funded at FAR less than public schools receive/pupil. Is it a start? Maybe. We should worry when only some schools, some students, and some parents get #AffordableEducationOptions and #ParentsChoiceIsSchoolChoice

Wow, wow, wow. Georgia is going to pass school choice! Southern states are embracing education freedom. Washington will have to pass school choice to keep its citizens from moving to Alabama ($7000 per child now available there), Florida, and now Georgia. #waleg

But, @NealMcCluskey, is it really "their funding" that public schools receive or is all state taxation for the education of the state's youth for "education" and there is no requirement that the funding only go to "public" a/k/a government run schools? #AffordableEducationOptions…

Sadly true. I wrote about this yesterday: "Economic Education Has Become Economic Disinformation" mises.org/mises-wire/eco…
In a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees.
Please join me in lifting this sweet boy up in your prayers 🙏
Please pray for my son. He’s 10 years old and has a lesion on his brain. We think it’s an abscess. He’s had a few seizures. His name is Benjamin, he’s a great kid, smart and loves to read the Bible. I’m as afraid as I’ve ever been right now. Thank you all in advance! Lift him up!
A reminder: we have a Constitutional Republic, not a direct democracy.
I say again: It is deeply concerning that so many people across the political spectrum don't understand the First Amendment or willfully misrepresent it. No, it does not require private individuals or companies to indulge you. It protects you from the government. That is all.
Do you really have a constitutional right to give a speech at someone else's dinner party?
@ConLawWarrior Nailed it, Clark! I might add my short succinct perspective and say there are over 101 ways to #policeforprofit outside of civil asset forfeiture!
@Matthew_2820 Zero. And your tacit point—that this significantly undercuts the power of Trump’s argument—is absolutely correct. But it is also true that for most of those 250 years we had a sane criminal code that only criminalized genuinely wrongful behavior. Those days are long gone.
Which brings us full circle. Is Trump’s claim that he should be immune from prosecution for trying to steal the 2020 election hot, steaming garbage? Yup. But are the justices right to be concerned about how the rule in this case could be abused in future cases? Also yup. /end
But that’s not our system anymore. Constitutionally prescribed jury trials have been almost completely displaced by plea-driven mass adjudication. As a result, prosecutors can be—and evidence shows have in fact become—far less discriminating in choosing which cases to pursue. /9
Now, this grotesque overcriminalization would be much less of a problem if obtaining a conviction were has heavy a lift for the govt as the Constitution requires it to be—particularly the part where they have to persuade a unanimous jury of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. /8
Do you have a clear idea which stuffed critters you may possess and which ones it’s a felony for you to possess? The answer for most of you is no you do not. I’m confident of that in part because it took me 20 mins to find the relevant statute—and I knew what I was looking for./7
Case in point: Several years ago, I was put in touch with an elderly woman who inherited a taxidermied critter from a dear, deceased friend. After she could no longer afford to keep it in climate-controlled storage, she decided to sell it on eBay. The first purported buyer…/5
Turned out to be an undercover (!) state fish & wildlife agent who (in his infinite grace) charged her with a misdemeanor while advising her they’d bump it up to a felony if she refused to plead. She did and they did. Which is when I got involved. Question for New Yorkers: /6
And it’s not just the number of crimes on the books—it’s how many have no connection to any coherent sense of right and wrong, meaning that even a good, peaceful, civically engaged person’s moral compass provides no reliable protection against inadvertently breaking the law. /4
We live in a wildly overcriminalized society where even the govt has lost track of how many laws are on the books—true fact: DOJ has repeatedly tried and failed to count just the number of federal criminal laws on the books, which is of course just the tip of the iceberg. /3
Is it reasonable for future presidents and executive-branch officials to be concerned that the decision whether to prosecute them for *something* they did in office will end up being purely a matter of prosecutorial largesse? Absolutely—just like the rest of us. /2
Just beneath the surface of the Trump immunity case lies the fact that our CJ system has gone so off the rails that few people—especially if they’ve done anything interesting like run for office or start a business—can be confident they haven’t committed multiple felonies. /1
Check out this excerpt from a recent CA6 brief. I honestly can't think of another legal doctrine besides maybe "separate but equal" that has come under more sustained, more powerful, and more morally compelling criticism than qualified immunity.
@DeAngelisCorey @WhatmattersinG @BrianKempGA @georgiarepparty @AFPGeorgia @dolezal4senate @JanJonesGA @turntotodd @georgiapolicy It only includes a small slice of students from what I understand

Peter Gray is spot-on here. It's not the screens, it's the schooling. "He believes the wide adoption of standardized testing, the common core, and other changes in American schools caused the number to rise once again." bostonglobe.com/2024/04/22/met…
