@DerrickEvans4WV As they will all be receiving federal money, they will all be government schools. Call them what you want, if government is where you see the problem this “privatization” is not the answer.
@ma69028@Riley_Gaines_ Actually that will do nothing. Until we as a nation realize we are an antique system in desperate need of a complete overhaul little can change. We should not be preparing students for the industrial past, but for the technology and open ended possibility future.

Boycott the NFL.
For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.
Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.
1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.
2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.
3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.
4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.
5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.
6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.
7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.
8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.
9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.
10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.
Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office:
- Home sales hit their lowest levels in almost 15 years
- Monthly mortgage payments doubled
- The average homebuyer is 49 years old
The American dream will continue to slip away under Kamala Harris.
Am I asking for the impossible - could we maybe discuss a little policy? Can we pin them down to an actual stance on something that matters? This is worthless.
@FoxNews Will the same standards be applied to enter service should a draft be enacted? If so, do people realize only about 23% of people are considered healthy enough to be accepted (at least into the Army)?
Billionaire Robert Craft pulls his support for Columbia University due to the ‘virulent hate’ being spread on campus against Jewish students.
The owner of the New England Patriots, who is worth $11.1 billion, released a statement saying Columbia is ��no longer an institution I recognize.”
“I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country.
I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.
It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of many of us who have lost faith in the institution.”
He also said that the Kraft Center at Columbia can be used by Jewish students as a ‘source of security and safety.”
“It is my hope that in this difficult time, the Kraft Center at Columbia will serve as a source of security and safety for all Jewish students and faculty on campus who want to gather peacefully to practice their religions, to be together and to be welcomed.”

Israel needs our help in this battle of good vs. evil. Here's what we need to do immediately:
• Provide Israel with all arms and intelligence it needs to defend itself and destroy the terrorists in its midst.
• Place all regional governments, particularly the government of Lebanon, on notice that they must not allow the use of their territory to engage in this battle.
• End American taxpayer support for all Palestinian entities or United Nations-backed entities that side with Hamas or fail to denounce antisemitic activity.
• Freeze Iranian access to the $6 billion in Qatari banks and send that money to Israel instead. Reimpose and enforce sanctions on Iran and on purchasers of Iranian oil.
