Re: Time to write off public education?
[ QUOTE ]
There's a well-worn joke that goes "what is the definition of a racist? Someone who is winning an argument against a liberal".
[/ QUOTE ]
The entirety of his argument was "Compared to 45 years ago," and you consider this winning the argument. There was a bold statement made in the original post, a statement that wasn't backed up in any way whatsoever, and because you happen to agree with the statement then, obviously, he was "winning" the argument.

It is disappointing to see you drop to that level. You are usually quite cogent and reasonable.

Maybe you can answer the question: what is fundamentally different about public education now (or 20 years ago) that makes it a disgrace compared to public education 45 years ago? My guess is that you would disagree with the assertion by HeavilyArmed that public education was not a disgrace 45 years ago, but I'm willing to hear you out on this one.
