Government schools are literal prisons for children and the only place many people will ever encounter physical violence in their lifetimes. They should be replaced with nothing.

For practical purposes for a lot of kids this would mean no education, no socialization, less food, and running wild while any and all adults in the house have to work to pay rent. As someone who had a really shitty public school experience I still think this is absolutely an awful idea.

All you have going for you is momentum and that is changing rapidly. States are passing real school choice all the time. Real school choice means the money goes with the student no matter where the student goes. Home schooling is spreading like wildfire. Your schools are failing and they will die once enough people have escaped them. Your approval or disapproval is irrelevant, you've already lost.

> Twitter and Facebook both have websites that are both easy to deal with on the phone. I am not saying that you need to have an app to succeed, only that succeeding without one will be difficult and lead to a higher likelihood of failing. If apps are a waste and don't provide any use to people then why do these companies waste their time and money making an app? Why do users often times use the apps? >Global IT spen…

If global IT spend is 4.5T, and AWS revenues is around 50B (don’t quote me I’m too lazy to look it up) and AWS has the largest market share of cloud. That implies that most companies aren’t using cloud and there is no monopoly. Anyone can put a website up, find a colo center to serve traffic somewhere and reach anyone. No one is just randomly blocking websites in the US and Android and now iOS support web push notifi…

Please just stop. There is more to IT spending than hosting costs. Salaries are often times a huge cost. You clearly don't understand that and are wasting my time.

The market share for cloud is many times more than 5% or whatever you were claiming.

Maybe you can point me to where it says that.

Here, in paragraph 3 of the law itself[0]: > Classroom instruction by school personnel or thirdparties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or [...] The common interpretation is that telling children that some like boys or girls like girls and some like boys is "instruction on sexual orientation". [0] https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1557/BillText/er/...

No, that is your interpretation, and it’s ridiculous. That language does not speak to mentioning two dads. And will never be enforced that way

Most people are ill equipped by intelligence, education, demeanor,and available time and to substitute for an entire building full of teachers. Schooling doesn't have to take place in the home but most parents are unsuited to the task by themselves.

The number of people home schooling went up during the pandemic but it is a single digit percentage not spreading like "wildfire". I expect home schooling to be sufficient for only a minority while a larger portion might well benefit from a partially or wholly online experience.

>When has this ever happened? >When has this ever happened? >When has this ever happened? Were you expecting a news article? I'm not the 7yo in the classroom, these are just things I've heard from other parents while I've been spending time in FL. People are earnestly scared about what their kids are being taught in school and I think it's pretty cruel to abuse them instead of taking their concerns seriously. Any of…

> Were you expecting a news article? Yes, actually. I can scaremonger straight people equally well, but choose not to. LGBT people are just the latest casualty in the nonsense "culture war." For example, this: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-777442211945 People saw cat litter on campus, which is commonly used to clean vomit off of floors at school, and fabricated this outrage. Anecdotes are not enough to vil…

Nobody's trying to villainize any LGBT people, you're the one jumping to that conclusion. I'm bisexual, two of my sisters and half my friends are queer, the fact you're unable to hear stories like this without assuming they're scaremongering lies says much more about you and your ability to process information than it does said apparent 'culture war'.

I shared an anecdote from a woman who had absolutely reason to lie, this wasn't a conversation on the internet, this was a handful of us chatting together at the dog park. Did you seriously expect me to do what you just did and smugly tell her that without a source she's just speaking lies? It's a fairly juvenile and reddit move, but again, we're seeing it right now.

If the only way you allow your priors to be updated is by reading news articles, I think you're going to find yourself fairly behind in cultural trends.

Finally, if news articles are truly the only way you can read, please feel free to read about what's happening near my hometown. [1] This should align well with your current assumption that it's not possible for LGBT people to do any wrong, and that any accusation of such is just right-wing 'nonsense'.

I don’t know what red state is, a social media company?I am referring to places where none of the content produced is made by the owner. Places where all content is user created.

RedState is a conservative website that allows comments. I was banned because I didn’t toe the line. Do you think they would have been okay with the Biden administration saying I must be allowed to comment.

That’s obviously not what I am talking about, I said multiple times places that are 100% user generated content.

Wouldn't be surprised if they mean Cloudflare's decision to stop hosting a harassment and doxxing website (kiwi farms)

That is what I mean. It starts with banning stormfront fascists but ends with banning the president. Keep thinking it's different.

Donald Trump was not banned from Twitter until it was clear he would no longer be president.

We are not allies. We do not share a common culture or morality. Your arguments are irrelevant. The schools are being destroyed right before your eyes and you are powerless to stop it.

"you're pro-gun rights but also pro-abortion access? Sorry, neither us nor the other guys want you" Uhm... you do realize there are plenty of us on the left who adopt exactly those positions?

Isn't that his point? Plenty of you exist, yet your party will not represent your interests. The "left" party that you vote for has chosen a set of values that are contradictory to your own, and you have no recourse because who else will you vote for?

You seem to think kthe left wants to ban guns. Nope.
