    yes, private schools were around. And now with the defunding of the DOE its about to become the norm. Well done sir, you’ve literally just explained what I said but made it sound like it was normal. Its not.

        Yeah, if only he wasn’t obstructed like Obama was at every turn by republicans, then blamed for ‘doing nothing’

        the same trick every time. gerrymandering, no nothing republicans standing in the way of progress and tricking people like you into thinking its the democrats faults. Even when they enact policies that they came up with. (tell me the name of the conservative who filibustered his own bill when obama approved it. you wont, because you are a shill)

          democrats had a majority. They chose not to use it. They chose to break their promises. You only support biden because he sold weapons to netanyahu for you.

            for how long, crab? And why was the ACA enacted then? Was that the dems choosing not to use anything?

            maybe this is why the dems never enact anything, because when they do americans flip out and start things like the Tea party.

              And why was the ACA enacted then?

              I was talking about the majority that democrats didn’t use during the first half of the biden administration. You know this, but since you’ve decided to pivot, let’s talk about the ACA. The original version had a public option and no individual mandate. It was a heritage foundation policy, and that was before democrats nerfed it. Centrists have been coasting on a neutered heritage foundation policy for 15 years now.

              We gave democrats the house, the senate, and the presidency in 2020. They chose not to use it. Now pretend I’m talking about something else. You know better, but that won’t stop you.

                  This will be the second time you’ve attempted to change the subject in as many comments.

                  But since you brought up the filibuster, why haven’t democrats used it since trump took office?

          Yeah, if only he wasn’t obstructed like Obama was at every turn by republicans

          You do know Biden as VP was the dog whistle to show the wealthy they could vote for Obama and nothing would get done …

          Right?

          It’s wasn’t just Republicans that’s stopped M4A, just like back with FDR the “moderates” sided with the Republicans.

          Biden said he wanted some things to happen, but never tried because he kept saying he didn’t know if it would work

          If you think Biden legitimately put effort in for two years Dems had majority …

          Why the fuck did Biden spend so much time calling himself the fucking “Senate whisper”?

          His whole deal was he could work with Republicans, and when we got majorities he threw his hands up and said trying would be a waste of fucking time.

          If you didn’t pay attention to any of that, the last election must have made no sense to you at all…

      It is normal, it always has been, ask 10 white and a few black people from different areas how many black people were in their school. Or just read the wikipedia article.

        i live in california, this may surprise you but a large percentage was asian at my schools.

        Its not normal to have private schools everywhere and to defund public schools. The only people pushing this are folks who wish to keep poor people (minorities) away from theirs. Since they won’t be able to afford them.

          I didn’t ask about Asians. How many black people went to your high-school?

          Its not normal to have private schools everywhere

          It literally is, it started with the desegregation effort, and any place with too mixed of a black and Latino population for public schools to be along racial lines has had private schools for the last half century.

            not as many as asian students. another minority class, oh wait you don’t count them as minorities do you?

            It literally is,

            literally "Private schools in the US, particularly those with religious affiliations, often exhibit higher levels of racial segregation compared " google it. pretend its normal. Its hilarious This will become the norm because of people like you. Thanks.

              It is the norm! The private schools have been built everywhere that has a mixed population 50 years ago. Its why 5% of California is black, but there was like 3 black kids at your school, this is a common experience across the country. Racist housing and education policy has bipartisan support.

              Remember that clip of Biden going "I dont want my kids growing up in a “racial jungle”? The policies that would have let more black kids go to your school was what he was opposing.

                  Oh, I see what youre failing to understand, the private schools were built for the purpose of enabling segregation where they couldnt just draw school district lines accordingly line in california. I assumed that was obvious from the context.

                    you have failed to copy and paste the first sentence that shows up when you google private schools and segregation

                    i assumed this would be super easy. here ya go “Private schools in the US exhibit higher levels of racial segregation compared to public schools, with some even being established as “segregation academies” to maintain racial separation. These schools, particularly in the South, were often founded in response to desegregation efforts in public schools.”

                    so why are we de-funding public schools, alky?
