Reply #112: Not this childless single

[Lydia Leftcoast]

I think that some parents are more selfish than I am in that respect--they don't want to pay for public schools, and especially not more for schools that serve dark-skinned children in inner cities, because their little angels are all in Gated Acres Country Day School.

I, on the other hand, realize that today's schoolchildren will be out in the workforce (or trying to break into the workforce) in no time at all, twelve years at the most.

We have a choice: they can be well-informed or ignorant.

Some people short-sightedly would rather have a generation growing up ignorant than pay another dime in taxes.
