    Please do your …
    Please do your research sir. Cdesign proponentsistsism, I mean intelligent design, was forced upon the Dover Area School District by the Dover Area School District Board of Directors (two of the defendants of Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case). The plaintiffs were local parents and after the trial ended the parents elected new officials to the Dover Area School District Board of Directors. Intelligent design would still be being taught at that school but for those meddling parents.

    This is a great argument for why education should be privately delivered and publicly funded. Nobody would be angry about what boards of directors were doign because there would be more choice.

  • Thiller11 says:

    The problem is not …
    The problem is not that, the parents is not involved in the school, but rather:
    – Socio-economic reasons
    – Too much beurocracy
    – The availability of weapons
    – Poor conditions in school -> poor behavior and that kind -> worse conditions

    In Denmark where I live, the public schools is in quite good conditions, and the best teachers don’t want to go to the Private schools because the parents have too much influence on the lessons.

    Sry for the spelling and grammar mistakes…

  • Thiller11 says:

    I’m not saying that …
    I’m not saying that parents shouldn’t care about the learning of their kids.

    I just believe the parents should instead try to make their kids interested in the subjects of school.
    As well as making the kids capable of behaving normal, which can be a huge problem.

    Further i still find it necessary for the parents to make sure that the school is functioning well and that their children is learning. But i just don’t think they should mess to much around with the teachers ignments

  • lifegiver36 says:

    Well here is the …
    Well here is the USA, i think its the opposite. Parents have to much influence on public education. This is why ridiculous things like creationism want to be thought in public schools. But there is also a big difference in population with USA and Denmark so that makes a difference also.

  • lifegiver36 says:

    Well you are …
    Well you are comparing apples to oranges. If government were to disappear in the USA, we would not turn into Africa. The problems in africa stem from many things, and one of them is there government.

  • Animatiotron says:

    What makes you …
    What makes you think that America wouldnt turn into Africa if there was no US government?Whats so fundamentally different?What US has less black people than Africa, is that it?Think about LA gangs,now imagine that theres no police in LA.Now imagine thats how the entire country looks like.Imagine that a company producing meat is not regulated by any governmental agency,they would make 3kg of sausages out of 1kg of meat.You would eat pig and you wouldnt even know about it.

  • Claytrainor says:

    Well, the guns …
    Well, the guns would only be there for the worst case scenario.

    No matter how many gun laws you make, no matter how much regulation you impose on gun stores, criminals and crazy people will still get their hands on them, i promise you.

    Every single major shooting takes place in a “Gun Free Zone”, because no one is capable of stopping the shooter.

    Google, “Virginia Law School Shooting”, for a good example of 2 students with guns, stopping a killer with guns after he only killed a couple people

  • Animatiotron says:

    First of all you …
    First of all you must live in some kind of Hollywood-fantasy land if you think that just because you have a gun the criminal will back off. If a criminal stumbles upon an armed citizen during a bank robbery he will not back off he will shot you BECAUSE you have a GUN. Secondly, if you think that the less government the better then you should move to Africa because let me tell you governments there provide absolutely no services of any kind and have completely no interest in their citizens.

  • Animatiotron says:

    You are comparing …
    You are comparing completely two different things. If you come to the school with a gram of weed you wont be able to kill 20 people unlike when you come with a Semi-automatic gun bought by your father for “”hunting”. Thats the bottom line.

  • fleskebille says:

    Not saying guns are …
    Not saying guns are absolute protection, just better than nothing, and think it should be a choice. Your example is just that, the situation may be different. The state is an unnecessary evil, but i don’t see it going away anytime soon.

    Most of the school shootings in the US may be related to SSRI’s (anti-depressants).

  • Animatiotron says:

    So youre advising …
    So youre advising for all teachers to carry guns just in case some student brings an AK-47 to kill everyone. Brilliant! Why stop there why not have soldiers in every classroom, armoured doors, foxholes in front of every entrance and snipers on the roof. What a fun school would that be a perfect environment for learning. Yeah and thats how the system should work instead of talking to students teachers should kill them.

  • Goldwater08 says:

    Just like if there …
    Just like if there was strong drug regulation, teenagers wouldn’t have drugs, right? You’re just too smart, but thanks for taking the time to come point out these complex solutions for us peons.

  • herbs814 says:

    “Laws that forbid …
    “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the aulted and better for the ailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.”

  • Animatiotron says:

    Listen its very …
    Listen its very difficult to own a guns in my country and never in the ing history did we have a school shooting its as simple as that and you can take that poetic nonsense and shove it up your … know where

  • fleskebille says:

    The US population …
    The US population need guns, but they also need proper training. Criminals get guns anyway, and if they meet someone with a gun, they will back off. School shootings could have been stopped if people had guns. Guns isn’t the problem, people is. Lots if guns in Canada too Government is just a violent monopolistic company that force you to pay for services, no matter how crappy they are, so don’t expect good protection. I think there’s a need in the US to balance power with an armed population.

    very insightful of you

  • neon806 says:

    More gun regulation …
    More gun regulation has never stopped a criminal from carrying a gun. In fact it encourages criminals to carry a gun because everywhere they go all they find are unarmed victims!

  • ronaldtimmermann says:

    Well.. free carry …
    Well.. free carry of firearms would be even better.. There’d be no school shooting like Columbine if teachers and adults were armed.. The perp would be killed quickly instead of having to wait for the police to count the bodies.

  • crichard8 says:

  • lockdown260 says:

    There shouldn’t be …
    There shouldn’t be strong gun control (it’s unconstitutional). Parent’s need to stop being lazy and actually raise their children instead of letting Government, TV, Video games,music, etc. do it for them.

  • Animatiotron says:

    Well if there was …
    Well if there was strong gun regulation there would not have to be any policeman in schools because there would be no armed teenagers
    FUCKING O ?!?!?
