Conservative parents said they’re looking to exit public schools after an anemic performance by right-leaning candidates in school board elections this week.

    I’m totally down with conservatives educating their kids poorly so they can’t get into college and are forced to take jobs cleaning my left wing toilet. It’s for the children, remember?

      Janitorial work is pretty important and critically unappreciated. Don’t be an entitled ass and label janitors as second-class workers.

        You’re right. It is. But that wasn’t my point. Is there a career choice that would better illustrate my point?

          A lot of undesirable jobs get done by those who don’t have a choice for various reasons and those people aren’t always the malicious type. I don’t think there’s any job deserving of insult.

          Plus those kids didn’t get to choose the environment they were raised in. They’re going to start off at a disadvantage because their parents prioritized politics over quality of education so it’s especially unfair to kick them down when they don’t have a choice.

            Fine jobs are curbed. But, I need an insult to use. So, help me out here. 🤷‍♂️

              It’s not appropriate to make fun of the kids here. They don’t get to choose the schools their parents force them into. The only insults should be aimed at the shortsightedness of their community that will have made success much more difficult to attain.

                Give me an insult to use on the parents, but it has to be about how their actions will impact their child.

                I feel like I’m trying to get chat gpt to answer the damn question but it’s trying to be a civil and yet judging me at the same time.

                Gimme what ya got. Make the next reply be the insult I need, not another dodge

                  “Once your kids figure out you made their lives extra hard, you’re never going to see them again and you’ll die only kept company by your hatred.”

                    Oh buddy I wish mistreated kids weren’t also usually brainwashed into never leaving. But look at the church. Pretty abusive imo. People eat that shit up.

      I dunno, seems kinda bourgeois? Leftist mostly clean their own toilets. They also want to eliminate class stratification, even for those that had conservative parents.

      Are you kidding? All that would happen if the conservatives kids would be even less competent at the jobs their parents pay their way into. Rich people’s kids don’t need to be good at things. Donald Trump was president.

        You’re talking about a small group (rich people), not the whole of conservatives. I doubt Karen Cuntington from Jesus, TX is going to help their kid on her minimum wage job.
