Let me bottom line it for you, the government schools are crap at any price.
If you notice, I do not defend them at all...and I agree.....most anything run by or controlled by the government is less effective that a private venture or one run by a more local government (not that local government bodies are more efficient but that the people have more control over them),
But if I see an invalid argument, even if it supports my view and opinion, I will point it out.
Our side will not benefit by using faulty arguments to further our cause.
We often criticize the Anti-firearm proponents for their use of incorrect statistics, semi-truths and outright lies in their arguments. We not only lessen our arguments, but ourselves also, by doing the same.
