I think there are a lot of problems in the education system but state involvement isn't one of them. I support public education, and am supportive of basic guidelines for schools. The issues IMO mostly stem from the state funding drastically favouring already privileged schools and neglecting underprivileged schools. There's definitely some curriculum issues (and as 12 y/o as it sounds I don't like the 'brainwashing' but you'll still get that in all types of schools, probably more so in home school settings. Imagine your parents teaching history to you lol) but these aren't near as urgent as the other issues are.
I really liked my "3/10" overcrowded school. Even if most of the classes were 'low quality' and the classes were meaningless. I'd take it over my 9/10 upper class school. I am so glad I was never home schooled or sent to private school. Don't let ur schooling get in the way of ur education.
I'd vote green if they were allowed on the ballot. :/
I don't know if 'jeez' is at my attitude or the referendum but it's seriously stupid considering that none of this shit is actually unconstitutional (you all already know how I hate people's attitude towards that document to begin with but that doesn't even need to come into play for this to be dumb) and 'unconstitutional' is Arizona Tea Party/crazy branch of Republicans code name for 'shit we don't agree with'. This whole 'federal government is tyrannical' shit really took off with the immigration stuff (screaming 'secure the border' aka profile Hispanics is so out of touch with the actual issues) and it's really hypocritical since Jan Brewer of all people wanted to bypass constitutional term limits to run for governor again lol. Then came the 'fuck the UN/federal US government' and 'let's ban communists' rhetoric (the let's ban 'pro-Mexican opinions/ethnic studies in schools' shit has been in full swing for a while). Digressions aside, the referendum itself is just another excuse for the state to withhold funds from the public and push its Republican controlled agenda of keeping healthcare and other things privatised and to place all federally protected land under state control (i.e. go to the federal government when you need them but conveniently ignore them when you want your state to be more backwards than everyone else). Too bad this proposal about protecting the constitution is actually unconstitutional lol.
The far-right screaming 'freedom' is just so dumb since their ideal society is actually very authoritarian.

and jeez, lol.
