That was quick.
Ex-Senator Julie Frye Mueller’s buddy Anthony Mirzayants is taking to facebook to attack State Representative Scott Odenbach over Odenbach’s sponsorship of House Bill 1020 establishing education savings accounts.
As noted in the post from Mirzyants…
Scott Odenbach – Your FAKE School Choice Bill is awful. You are completely dropping the ball, and I don’t know why.
YOU ARE INTRODUCING NEEDLESS REGULATION. This is dangerous.
Stop. Take a breather. Withdraw your bill.
Let the REAL School Choice champions handle this.
Just a thought.. maybe they can agree to sit on this and work things out.
For at least a few years…
My family and I were rather disappointed that we weren’t invited or included in home school, school choice activities here in Spearfish.
It doesn’t make sense since our home school has done so profoundly well.
I wrote a book about it that could be a very good informative guide for anyone wanting to get really good insights.
We’re not perfect, but it’s pretty grand what we accomplished thus far and we’d hoped for a fair treatment of our progress without attracting various political operations to discredit or ruin our kids.
The social aspects of this problem are the 800 lb gorilla.
Moves toward freedom and control for parents are good.
Moves toward subversive actions to recruit families into various organizations as a precursor to participate in the free market economy is bad.
VERY BAD.
I’ll leave it there with hopes that somebody reaches out to us to share our insights.
What did we accomplish?
I’m happy to share it .. but you’ll need to find a way to contact me.
John, based on the crap you post the only use that book has as either kindling or a ‘what not-to-do’ cautionary tale.
Dear Anonymouse Coward:
I’m very glad you learned to use a keyboard.
I’m proud of you.
Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,
John Dale
Author, This is not a School
I see Pat is giving Dale wide latitude to hawk his wares again. Lovely.
Hello anonymous coward:
Why do you have a problem with me doing my job (author) and providing for my family (selling books in a loving, responsible, meritorious way)?
Don’t buy my book. Don’t inform yourself. Stay in the dark. Keep shooting arrows.
Sincerely,
John
Debate me on my show so everyone can see how brilliant you are.
Might want to read my book first.
Sincerely,
John Dale
Author of “This Is Not a School”
“Give me money to show me how wrong I am.”
You’re a douchecanoe.
Oh my GOD this bill is AWFUL.
I agree Dale! We need a REAL School Choice Bill like Baxter’s HB 1009
Anthony how much are getting paid to push this voucher scam? If successful are you off to another state to push this?
Anthony you have asked supporters to contact you at an Austin, Texas area code phone number. Which organization is paying you to push this trainwreck where you advocate having zero regulations? That will go over like a lead balloon with there already being issues with zero regulations with homeschooling in South Dakota that is vulnerable to abuse and neglect.
American Action Fund
Abuse and neglect happen in public schools, private schools, and to our Veterans before during and after conflict.
Do you have any numbers to back up this claim?
You realize you’re claiming that parents care less for children than teachers, right?
I think that adequately funded home schools address many root causes of our society’s ills.
It’s another out of state Koch-funded libertarian type group that heavily favors the oligarchy with everyday South Dakota taxpayers, families, their kids being short changed an education and being left on the hook.
This exact same thing is going to happen at the national level.
Karr was attacked by this chubby kid a month ago for putting Crabtree as chair of commerce.
I suspect all of the freedom caucus legislation will find the 41st day if this keeps up.
It’s an unfortunate possibility.
AND SO IT BEGINS!!!!!!!
How is this dangerous? Ok Anthony (insert eye roll).
Fear mongering is the tactic that the far right uses. But what happens when the far right is the leadership? Well then they actually have to govern. And those who don’t govern in the far right, continue to fear monger.
Populists they are… and that means that the new leaders are now considered “part of the institution”. Good luck. God bless.
I take issue with the substance of the bill, which creates a big logical pseudo-public schooling apparatus that will shift the emanation of intrusion from one monolithic public institution to another huge monolithic private institution.
It will create overhead in the process that will persist long into the future. It will create exploitable loopholes that will allow whomever controls the pseudo-private institution to impose forced mandates.
I believe in education down to the last fiber of my being. If parents have children of schooling age, write them a check. No other government intrusion or management by government is required beyond a law enforcement function that takes into consideration social engineering and how that intrudes on the atomic family.
How about a bill that allows LE to start immediate and aggresive prosecution of the social credit score apparatus?
Families will form their own groups. Some will enroll in some kind of school, some will not. The only function of government that is attractive in this context is the protection of the autonomy of the family with whatever force is necessary.
“INDEPENDENCE” is an American value, and it’s been slowly encroached upon by every manner of organization, secret society, government, and foreign body.
The legislature should be focused on creating the environment for a functional and robust free market that eventually is capable of displacing payments to families from the education budget with monies that the families earn as a result of participation independently and dynamically in a real free market.
It’s simply stated..
The free market is broken. Fix it. Stand up to the bullies (teachers unions, banks, school/prison builders) and refrain from seeking optics-points by “managing” and taking credit for things that don’t need to be managed.
Lastly, the five of us are subject matter experts. Rather than reaching out and studying the outcomes we’ve achieved through interviews and communications with us, then crafting the bill, some other method was used to craft this strange proposal.
Scott’s office is a 3 minute walk from our home, which sits at the second busiest intersection in town. There has been a prominent sign out front featuring my website for a decade, which features the book we wrote on this exact topic, a difinitive work.
Am I supposed to believe that Scott didn’t know we were here?
What the heck, man?
John, you aren’t a subject matter expert in anything relevant. Hard to believe your book is a “definitive work” having only been published 6 months ago and having no public review nor proof of any sales.
Scott knows where you are, but more importantly knows better than to be associated with you.
You won’t even sign your own name to your posts.
I got that going for me, which is nice.
I have been a home school administrator and teacher for 20 years.
Have I been successful?
Of course I have.
I was recently in a meeting with Scott and the President of BHSU.
My gosh I hope nobody ever takes your advice without seeking a second opinion.
You believe in chemtrails and 5g brain control. You shouldn’t be teaching much of anything because you are dedicated to supplanting the scientific method with your feelings. Also: being in meeting with someone means you are good at the thing you are claiming? Joel Koskan met with tons of state legislators are heads of various businesses when he wasn’t molesting children…
I have a Master of Science in MIS.
I teach the scientific method.
It’s laced throughout my book.
I wonder this is the same person replying, which we can’t know because you have hidden your identity. If we knew who you were, we could all reach out to you to pull you back off the ledge and also try to help you do some homework before teeing off on someone and defaming their character, creating financial and reputation-al damage.
Go drunk anon. You’re home.
Please, PLEASE sue for defamation. I’d love the opportunity to have some discovery and mess your world up legally. Please sue, I beg of you.
We’re off topic here..
You let him run wild in your comments section posting nonsense and hawking his crappy, self published book. Maybe we went off topic a while ago, Pat.
