Try rephrasing that analogy in a way that has some vague ties to the subject at hand.

What I've failed to make a point on was the fact that just because some schools are above par doesnt mean we shouldn't standardize the system. Currently, all schools are state institutes, much like the voting system. If a standard is set across the country that is run from federal source the over all quality of eduction would rise.

Yamori wrote:...If there is a demand to make all peoples' educations equal, inevitably it means that either all schools in the country must be amazingly superb - or that those who could get a significantly better education than others will need to be dragged down in the name of fairness and equality. And I think that's insane.

People need to face the facts that equality of education does not exist, nor will it ever. Even under the current socialized system of schools, there are huge differences between schools in poor areas and schools in affluent areas. By all means society should strive for giving everyone a good education - but it should not strive to enforce an equal one....

Voting machines are a piece of equipment used to pick a name from a list. Schools are organizations run/operated by numerous people (usually ~50-200), with enormously large agendas and highly varied funding needs and highly varied interests/needs depending on their location and students. No.

DPA supporters and others who opposed this outrageous bill called their members of Congress this week to express their disapproval. However, House leaders circumvented the usual legislative procedure to bring the bill to a quick vote. It did not pass through the committee process, but went straight to the House floor. There, it was passed by a simple voice vote, so constituents cannot even find out how their Representative voted.

The bill moves next to the Senate, but it is unlikely to be considered there this session.

funny how this part wasnt posted. God help the teacher that strip-searches my daughter.

Put her in a different school if you don't like it.

this just boggles my mind. It seems you forgot to consider that this law ( if passed) would apply to ALL schools, not specific ones. This ltotally lacks the consideration of the subject. My statement stands.

Would you approve if it became law that every US based company had the right to warrantless search of all its employees?

Gargamellow wrote:My kids rock and they think I rock. And everything I do, they know is for them. They would submit willingly to a search if I told them it was for their own good. My kids go to a violent school. This society SUCKS. But we are dealing with it the best way we can. And I agree, children have no rights. Children are to be protected and socialized by parents and society. It isn't like JAIL, either. It is a safety precaution. Preventive maintenance. Get a grip, people. This ain't fucking little house or the waltons. This is USA today and it is a war zone.

I am done arguing this point. It is always insult I rceive when I express my opinion and I really resent the immaturity of my kids being insulted in such a way.

it is perfectly acceptable for a 9 year old to go out and buy a .357 magnum with his/her grass cutting money?

I have two cousins who both went to the most expensive private school in connecticut and they are now in their late 20s/early 30s and are laborers and live with their parents.

So according to your logic - it is perfectly acceptable for a 9 year old to go out and buy a .357 magnum with his/her grass cutting money?

Should we start allowing 12 and 15 years olds to start voting for president?

And, while we're on a roll why don't we just completely do away with trying kids as kids and start trying ALL of them as adults. I mean after all, sinse they have the same rights as do adults why not?

Ohh and why don't we just go ahead and remove all these other silly laws... you want to go out and buy beer at 6? Sure - you have rights! You want to move out of your parents home at 14? Bah go ahead, you have rights!!

If states want to make laws that treat children differently, then thats what they will do, however no state should be able to pass a law that takes away a right specifically granted by the constitution.
