A heinous criminal has a right to life but an innocent unborn fetus does not. That is both baffling and inconsistent to me.

I oppose both abortion and capital punishment. If human beings were capable of rendering perfect justice I would accept capital punishment in some cases, but since we are not perfect, we should not assume that authority. That seems consistent and morally defensible to me.

The government has the ability to confiscate funding from citizens to build facilities, pay salaries and benefits and compel students to attend a specific school. Private schools must fund all of the above from its private supporters, compete for students with other private schools and with the public schools that charge no tuition while the private school supporters are simultaneously being coerced to financially support the public school system. That seems crazy to me.

It seems only fair to consider both sides of the financial equation and that the authority for education decisions ought to reside with the family not with the government.

Rick's schooling is more involved than I remembered.

I'm opposed to capital punishment (bet you guessed that ;))
remember, they are humans, not a fetus in the womb.

We went to parochial school. We learned reading, spelling, the Palmer method of penmanship, catechism, basic math, history. We ate at our desks, had over 55 students & you could hear a pin drop. An art teacher visited every 3 weeks & we played in the parking lot for gym.

When I transferred to public high school, I was in awe!
4 buildings, a cafeteria & library, the gym had several areas, one had a dirt floor! I felt like I was in college!
They had amazing visual aids & offered science classes with labs, and so much more!

Parochial school certainly gave me strong fundamentals & a great respect for others & their property.

Maybe the combo was a plus. But that public school was far superior it what they offered.
