Education in California

I thought the bigots who denigrate other states would find this interesting.

I have read that one-third of those who collect AFDC live in California. As long as they can read the welfare application forms.....
It's all the fault of Proposition 13, remember ?

What has prop 13 got to do with it ?
Prop 13 was a cap on runnaway property taxes.

Proposition 13 was a cap on runaway property taxes. Which usually went to fund schools in other districts.

I know someone who moved from CA but continues to own a home there, on the thinking that if they sold and bought back in later, the taxes would be really rough. Classic prop 13 effect.

California had (maybe still has) a lottery the intent of which was to fund the schools,
but once bureaucrats get their grubby hands on money, God only knows where it lands up
- certainly not in the school funding anyway. Of course if you're wont to have a suspicious
nature, you might wonder if most politicians being millionaires might have something to do with it.

Yes, here in NJ the Lottery came in 1969 to "fund" schools, in the 1970s we had the phony school funding crisis-"can't rely on property taxes." That led to the state income tax-which went for pay raises. A few years ago one the big boosters of the income tax admitted he hadn't paid his. He wasn't prosecuted.
In California a few years ago one Democratic candidate in the primary for governor saw his lead vanish when it was revealed his kids were in private school, and it was found a high percentage of members of the CTA had their children in private schools. One city made the teachers take the tests the kids were supposed to take-60% failed.

The purpose of Public Education is not to educate the children, it is to indoctrinate them and to provide jobs for political supporters of the Left.

I believe Boggs has a daughter who is a teacher. You can ask him if she gets up every morning with your grandly-stated purpose in mind. Sophistry?

That's why history is taught the way it is. Sometimes no where near the truth.

My DIL is a teacher and my son has turned her to the right. She is now a CCL with a Ruger and takes our oldest grandson to the firing range. This was part of the arming teacher education in Ohio.

That's not an answer about the curriculum she's required to teach.

Can't answer what I don't know. How about the "education" that you were going to show?

Still waiting on your "education" if any.
