Probably not but appreciated

How does he propose to fund the schools? Part of what makes affluent neighbourhoods affluent are the schools that that affluence can fund.

White affluent suburbs

People from many African countries did not know how to read and write before the Europeans showed up

Now since Europeans have been reading and writing and doing math for thousands of years all European families have a head start

If a black family is raised by black parents who do not know how to read & write and do math they will not do as well in public schools as white families raised by white parents who do know how to read & write and do math

> If a black family is raised by black parents who do not know how to read & write and do math they will not do as well in public schools as white families raised by white parents who do know how to read & write and do math

I'm happy to concede this. But what do you conclude from it?-what is your point, precisely?

@casuist @MSP_SMIMSA

Because the parents have work ethic and understand the importance of reading and writing And math the children succeed academically and not because of the funding

Even if the parents are not good at reading and writing and math their children can still succeed academically if they view it as important as in the case of Ben Carson whose mother put in effort to make him study extra at a library

These neighborhoods can afford funding because the parents work hard

@casuist @MSP_SMIMSA

Raising the taxes to increase funding to public schools in a ghetto where most blacks do not care about learning will not improve ability to read and write for most blacks because most of their parents don't care

The locations that do care would succeed on a lower budget anyway because the parents care but have a higher budget because the parents work hard to have more funding because they care and they believe more funding helps

But the attitude is more important

@casuist @MSP_SMIMSA

Even though the parents believe more funding helps their children to learn and so they invest more funding in affluent areas I do not think they are correct

If the parents were not taxed to pay for schools they would have that budget to educate their children as they see fit and I am not talking about wavers for schools to redustribute tax but no tax at all

I believe they could better educate their children if public schools were abolished

> I believe they could better educate their children if public schools were abolished

I agree. And when we win the revolution, that's the first thing we should do. I was only curious about what this person proposes in the meantime were he to actually abolish property taxes.

@casuist @MSP_SMIMSA

I do not see how you could win an election by promising to not merely defund but abolish public schools because most public school teachers are going to abuse their teaching position to miseducate children that Public Schools are good and that Public School teachers should be paid more
