#13> Stanley said this order sets the country “on a path to educational authoritarianism”. Paying large sums of taxes for a school that is unquestionably failing my children, with no option to attend another school (without shelling an unfathomable amount of money for private schooling), feels like educational authoritarianism to me.
As somebody on the other political side, I wouldn't want federal tax dollars going to mormon universities in a vacuum. To prevent more culture war distractions from the faculty's jobs of teaching, I think anybody who can do math can agree that: Either every university should get subsidies proportional to the effectiveness of their graduates or no universities should get any subsidies at all.
what about every university should get subsidies per student's head-count and let the universities decide what for the money is used? The market will regulate the demand & supply of places and the universities have an incentive to grow and to attract students by quality. If its mormon-university and mormonism happens to be in big-demand, so then its a mormon university that gets subsidies. At least, its in europe mostly like this.

You can consider moving to a better district.

Surely it will only be 4 years!
It was the first time. How much do you want to wager?
There was a deeply unsettling moment there in the waning days of the first term. It’s not unreasonable to be concerned about what may unfold at the end of the next one.

How about sending my children to the school 20 miles away that is doing orders of magnitude better than my local district? Not an option apparently. Even tried several routes, including appealing to the school board, and I'm effectively ignored on every attempt.
Anyways, moving is not an option for me, as I have local dependents that I am responsible for taking care of and who would be abandoned if I left.

Religious institutions should only be supported by voluntary contributions from those who believe in its mission. No state should ever give money to a religious institution, for any reason, because no state should favor one religion over another. To do so leads to religious authoritarianism, which is a direct precursor to religious segregation and persecution. Money given to the state should only be used for purposes that benefit all citizens equally or to level the playing field for the less fortunate.

I am confused. 20 mile commute to school is feasible personally for your child but moving 20 miles to be in the district suddenly makes taking care of certain individual infeasible?

If you’re contending that he let go of power peacefully the first time then I have some Jan 6 assault conviction to show you. Let’s not forget that he threw a mob at Congress to prevent certifying his opponent’s win.
