Why wasn’t this gaggle of special interests so opposed to the Denver PreK tax funded scheme that distributes tax payer money to private schools?
Interesting they use Denver District court. It would seem to most citizens that they have no jurisdiction over local control matters in Douglas County.
Come on you wusses, file in Douglas County!
has filed a motion to change venue to Douglas County. Plaintiffs claim that Denver venue is proper because it is state tax dollars (at least in large part) that will fund this program. Also, the Colorado Department of Education is a named defendant.
Their program is similar to others that have been found constitutional. Apart from the teacher’s unions and a few liberal self-hating churches, there is no opposition to this. The Douglas County School Board is simply carrying out the wishes of the sensible conservative voters who elected them.
we’ll see what the judges say. If you are right then it is another rung down the ladder for this state and perhaps for the country.
but the state constitution. Not the same thing.
Feel free to send your kids to Catholic school to learn the ways of hate, just don’t do it on my dime.
I think Arapgop’s kids will learn the ways of hate regardless of what school they attend.
I went to an all boys catholic high school, and I didn’t learn the ways of hate. In fact, the few priests that were there were some of the smartest and most kind men I have ever had the pleasure to know. It was also pretty expansive on other religions and philosophies.
I totally agree with you that we shouldn’t have to pay for anyone’s kids to go to private school, religious or secular. Just wanted to point out from a non-catholic, not all catholic schools are misogynistic, hate training academies.
Tell that to women seeking to control their own reproductive organs.
When I worked to defeat both personhood amendments.
that people sent their kids to Catholic school to learn the ways of repression.
They send their kids there to learn how to read. That, and guilt.
which might also be happening in your fundamental megachurches just without the institutional cover-ups.
And when he was about 11, I checked his internet history. THAT was an eye-opening experience. If he was learning repression, that school failed him miserably.
I would have been embarrassed to ask the taxpayers to pay for it.
I’m thinking no injunction will be granted but that voucher programs will be upheld. Shame though.
If educated, tax-payers cannot have basic socractic deliberations over something as important as education without dropping F-bombs at eachother, no wonder we are so stagnant as a nation.
Look- Either way the money is getting spent, in the district on our children. Clearly the scholarship program is a win-win for everyone. The district gets 25% of the money to use at its discretion and the students and their families get their choice of a school and can opt out of any theology or religious education if desired. The key here is choice!
Some of you must be avid education participants who continue to vote down bond-revenues and other tax-payer elections to appropriately fund our state’s and countrie’s future. In fact with all this concern you must be regular attendees of CO State education budget meetings and the like-NOT! Stop complaining and support our democracy! In case you have not noticed, The US is on the brink, (next few decades) of being overrun by countries like China and India.
The power to choose what you believe is the greatest power you have. I hope our children continue to compete in this world and have the knowledge and skills to save the U.S. economy from its inevitable demise.
