This is not a scientific poll. Looks very much like the vote on the Mooresville School buildings last year. 2/3 to 1/3. .

I don't want to beat a dead horse but Reading Concerned's comment made me think that we can learn all we could ever want to on what happens when the Government tries to run anything. The teachers can tell you what that has meant to their ability to be effective in the class room. That's why I am so adamant about pursuing Non-government run schools. Anything the government ties to manage is in a state of crap. Our founders designed the way government works and they didn't design it to be able to run a company efficiently. I for one think this was their guarantee that the governments intrusion into our lives and business could never be accomplished because they wouldn't be able to compete with the free enterprise. The Unions control politicians and that's why unionized government employees are so programed by their unions to hate privatization. They rightfully fear the private run companies that can't be pushed around or extorted for excessive pay and benefits like they can blindly squeeze the taxpayers for.The union controls politicians who pass laws to force government bodies to do what ever the new political fear of the day calls for. In education the new thing is to consider homosexuality as normal instead of a sexual perversion that it is. Now the schools are mandated to do certain things just because of a new fade of political correctness. Of coarse there is now way somebody can prove their homosexual so I call that special rights by arbitrary demand. Its a behavior. Now what are the teachers to do 10 years from now when the pedifiles continue to when in court and in the world of plublic opinions. Yep it going on now and when the first Homosexual or pedifile gets elected to higer office then that too will be forced on the government schools because that how it works. Politians run the schools not the educator. Hum.. but the educators hire a union to run the politians who run the schools the teachers who hired the union complain about ....OOOH wait... this is making me dizzy.If enough parent raised enough cane and started a political action group to only elect politicians who would force teachers to allow boom boxes blaring in the class room then guess what folks. You got it. All these things that politiaians hamper the system with cost big and thats why it cost so much more per child to educate them in the GEC vs Private schools. Even with Special needs. Most teachers see this and feel trapped. For the one or two conservative educators out there you understand fully what it means to not be with the program. The vile retaliation from many union thugs can make it hard to go to work for some. Yep they know what I'm talking about.I say all that to say this. I hope the reasonable can take lessons from the school system and consider what it would be like if they also took over our health care. We will find doctors coming on here saying the same things the teachers are saying because they will experience the same things. Except the loss's wouldn't be in our education. The wiser poeple of this country see and understand these things. And I hope we all can thank the lord they are in the majority.It's interesting to sit and talk about things with police officers and firemen in private. They sound a whole lot like teachers..
