Hawk…it just ain’t “old boys” that need to die off for that to change…there are plenty of young’uns with those NAFA beliefs out there.
Iowa school district shuttering...
- Thread starter MitchLL
- Start date
Not all. But a lot. Ioway Dems only have a chance if the shit small towns of Ioway die off and the people with them while growing urban centers. Everyone acknowledges this slow death is happening. And it starts with the old farts.
Don’t get me wrong, you’ll always have the Orange City, Pella and all the derangement that comes with that.
Getting back to school closings and budget crunches, it's ridiculous to only increase funding to public schools <3%.
Fixed expenses...utilities, fuel for busses, buildings maintenance, and the like have all risen by more than that.
The State's Republicans are major contributors to the problems.
They are intentionally underfunding public education to further their narrative.

Still angry that Iowa's school age children and their parents have a choice regarding their childrens education?
I thought you Dim Dems were all for "choice"?
I believe in the Constitution and the separation of Church and State more than I believe in my “right” to choose anything. The more “church and religion is validated, the less my ability to “choose” is enhanced.
You obviously do not understand the Constitution especially that part regarding the Separation of Church and State.
Tell us which Dutch girl laughed at you.
I’m not a fast runner. So I’m sure there were many as I ran as fast as I could from their brand of religious crazy.
Choice????
You mean as having a choice if my taxes are paying for some private school student.
FVCK YEAH
Oh, and spud...DJT down now 7%.
Better sell before it hits $.05.

How many does Chis have and you two dipshits are lock step with him on everything.
Don't worry about DUIs if you voted for Dim Kim!
In fact, maybe that's how she was elected? Voters didn't want her driving a vehicle, since Governors get chauffered.
Perhaps Chris is more correct than you want to admit?
Agreed - that college student gambling sham was the dumbest thing the state of Iowa ever got involved with.
See...I knew we'd find common ground.
But if you knew why they went after ISU and Iowa, I bet we would view it differently.
Then where exactly does the separation lay in the intentions of the framers?
Same argument with gun rights. Open to interpretation. U and most others believe in politics and power from a point of view, not necessarily what thevframers intended. Choice is a political position. As is a lack of choice.
They wrote the Constitution knowing stuff was going to change…hence they gave the Courts and tge Oeopke ways to change the document. But as Ben Franklin said…@now, the people gave to be smart enough to maintain” the government the FF gave us. Right now IIowa, the population isn’t smart enough to do this.
Yes it was..even dumber than her idea to gift private schools tax money. Which is really dumb…. And violates the spirit of the Iowa and US Constitution.
Move somewhere where your anti American Marxist beliefs are embraced, maybe NY or CA.
Weird, we actually have more freedoms here in California. Our government doesn’t tell us what to do with our bodies. Oh, and UC system is the best in the country.
Exactly… it does not. However Jefferson (a founding father) as President did interpret the 1st Anendnent that origins the state founding a religion as well as interfering with its practices @buikding a wall” between church and state. His view has been universally accepted by legal and Constitutional scholars. I am sure that dies meet with your high standards but sometimes busybody you just gave to move in and fight your battle somewhere else.
Freedoms in Iowa are going by the wayside fast. The Republican led old white man government wants to tell us everything to do, when we can do it, who to do it with, and even what we can read. But hey... they love "protecting freedoms"...

I drove through Manchester today....that whole town and school district needs to close.
What a bunghole of a community it is. Just combine w/ Independence and keep all the meth heads together.

I love this unnecessary and petty shot at West Delaware and Independence. Thank you.
Iowa has 328 school districts. Manchester is the 79th biggest.
Yep, a rather misinformed and ignorant comment.
As someone that has attended many high school sporting events there, they have above average facilities and there is $$$ in that town.
Not misinformed at all....has nothing to do with enrollment...just close the school and the town for good. Maybe making the people disperse and live alongst non-inbreds will save the next generation from having to suffer the fate of existing there.
Good. And we need this to happen more. Time to consolidate some of these small schools, become more efficient, save the tax payers. In the end, it probably creates better opportunities and education for the students too.
So as school district dissolve how far should kids trek daily to school? 15-20 miles one way…round trip? What about participating in extracurricular school events. Stanza, you talk a big game but you haven’t thought thru it very well.
When we lived in Iowa we chose to send our kids to a private catholic school partly because the public school lacked teachers. Many classrooms had permanent subs, some who weren’t even licensed teachers. The kicker is they had instructional coaches…..former teachers who get paid(higher wages?)to do what exactly? Can someone explain the reasoning for this….perhaps Tom P knows?
Where did you teach Rico Suave?? I taught for 24 years in elementary school. Now here is what has happened since the far right basket cases have implemented since they took over my district's school board:
They love to ban books. Kindergarten teachers...1st grade teachers( and all the classroom teachers (2-4) have had to enter every book in their classroom libraries ( think like Bernstein bears/ Dr Seuss/ any book from scholastic...) you know books kids read when they are learning howto read, teachers had to scan books and create a database and find book reviews on all of these books for students who are just learning to read and submit this to the school board. Do you have any idea how many books are in a kindergarten classroom library?? Easily over 1000.
One of the bright moves that the maga school board implemented at one of our middle schools was to ban a book that was the biography of the namesake of the school itself. Dawson Middle School ( Carroll ISD/Southlake, Texas). Dawson was named after George Dawson. A black man who grew up in Dallas and learned to read when he was 98. Amazing story about an amazing man. He grew up in the Jim Crow days and when he was young, a friend of his was lynched ( accused of raping a white girl...later found to innocent...you know Like Emmit Till) well that school board decided that the book is to violent for 7th & 8th graders...eben though it had been a tradition for the students to read since the school opened. Solid bold move maga folk.
Scholastic news is now banned in all of the Carroll Schools because one of the maga school members. She thought it was pushing a leftist idiology ....great move maga folk
