You are so wrong. If your “different idea” is refugees should be turned away because of their religion, or that some people can’t get married, or Black protestors are thugs, tolerance of those views is effectively allowing bigotry to exist. But I don't think you'll get it if you don't already. If you call me a fag and…

The thing is, you have an option where many families in the public school system don’t. That money will go incredibly far in already underfunded public schools. I’m not sure where you are getting the number 250,000. The presumption is that if some private schools are eligible for this, all private schools should be,…

Uh the Republican party - a VOLUNTARY affiliation of presumably like-minded individuals - has as its election frontrunner a guy who essentially wants to ban brown people. “Be wary when dating a Republican, s/he’s aligning himself with this shit” is hardly the same thing

Yeah but trying to get free speech taken away is the goal of the ultra liberal cry bullies at places like Yale, who are also bad people. It goes both ways.

“I mean, I just wanted the money in my pocket and they said they were going to plant trees and stuff, when they go on to the state legislature and sponsor anti-choice legislation that’s, like, totes not on me.”

When was the last time we had a fiscally conservative republican in office? Fiscally conservative pretty much mean spend money that could be used on social and physical infrastructure on wars in other countries at this point.

It’s inaccessible if no one can afford it, genius.

Yeah - I mean, not like the Republicans are at all fiscally conservative anyway, so that would be a stupid vote, but my bodily autonomy should NOT be worth any amount in saved tax dollars, if you’re my significant other.

But Republicans ARE evil.

No matter how many times you say it, a lot of people on a certain side of the isle don't understand: intolerance of intolerance is not intolerant, it's the opposite. Tolerating intolerance is intolerance.

For me, as a person of color and descendant of Mexican immigrants, the question of political leanings is a matter of my safety.

Well, part of that could be that this site is populated by liberals who are viewing their children marrying “across the aisle” which would be Republicans. The other part of it is that liberals aren’t the party that is open supporting intense racism these days. I’m amused you think it’s less tolerant to dislike…

That is not relevant. I, a non-parent, also pay taxes. That doesn’t mean that I get to request private security for my house using those funds.

...and they have a right to send their kids to public schools, just like everyone else who pays taxes and has school-aged children. They have a benefit that they choose not to use, just like I choose to have a car instead of taking the train, and lots of people choose to have playgrounds in their yards instead of…

Why do you send your kid to the Lutheran school if it’s struggling so badly?

That’s a decision they make.

They are citizens of the state and city. They have an opportunity to attend public schools where their needs will be funded by taxpayers. They choose to attend a private school - with that should come an expectation that the students needs are privately funded. Surely public schools face funding issues as well, and…

But you’re not talking about something that all of us would agree is correct to do, i.e. calling police or fire and having them do something.

This is like the city paying for certain citizens’ bills for books at Barnes and Noble because even though the city already pays for them to have access to books through public libraries, they would rather have the same services through private institutions. This is outrageous. If public schools can function without…

Whoa, whoa, what? NYC pays for the books in private schools?
