I think fundamentally we have three options as a society:

  1. Have public schools for people who are poor and private schools for people who are rich;

  2. Subsidize private schools so poor people can send their kids to different kinds of schools;

  3. Ban private schools entirely and have only public schools.

Davis-Gates clearly opposes option #2 (as do I), but it's not at all clear from a two-sentence post on X whether she favors 1 or 3.

She admits that she's a racist then?

Yes, in her words. Yes.

Words and actions.

Well of course she sends her kids to private schools, it's fucking Chicago. Have you seen some of the socially-maladjusted failures that they have attending public schools there?

The issue:

Terrible public schools wouldn't keep getting money to waste being terrible and dangerous, if people who were forced to go to private schools, wouldn't keep giving their government education money to that terrible public school in their district, but instead took their gov ed. contribution with them, to where they went with a voucher.
