Fake Schools

What amazes me in our talks is the number of grandparents raising their kids children this day and age
Charlie Kirk makes a fortune online preaching to the ignorant who are too lazy to study our history, our documents and our court decisions. Prayer wasn’t taken out of our schools by one person, the Supreme Court ruled it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Washington, Franklin, Monroe, Madison. Payne, etc etc were Deists, not Christians. Even Christian founding fathers understood the danger of promoting one religion over another, the very reason many left Europe for religious freedom. Jefferson basically created the concept of “separation of church and state’”’ so people could understand the difference between the free exercise clause and the establishment clause.
We have never been a Christian nation, we are a nation where chrtianity is the most practiced faith. We are not a theocracy.
PS Public school teachers should rank at the top of the most respected professions. What they accomplish despite how they are paid is unbelievable.
So you didn’t even listen to it and don’t even know what he said. Like I said before this nation was started by Christians the end. My pastor is a history major and we went over all this stuff and I respect him and what he showed and taught me on the subject. Charlie Kirk just happened to echo what my pastor said already. My pastor was also a High school History teacher but quit to pastor the church. He will also tell you of the stuff coming into the schools

Read the mayflower compact because I’m sure you didn’t read that either
Why do we keep bringing up a document that was a social contract that has no legal binding and pledged allegiance to a king?
On the contrary, I did watch the video, in fact I’ve seen it before. I see a lot of Charlie Kirks’s videos because it’s important to know what people are being led to believe that is simply not true. As to your pastor I’m sure that he is a fine man and is true to his beliefs. But as a public school teacher he is responsible to all his students, including those who are Jewish, Muslim, gay, transgender, agnostic and on and on so it’s understandable why he changed jobs, better for him, undoubtably better for some of his students.
You obviously don’t read and listen thoroughly because I said he quit to pastor. He did his job as a teacher to all of his students. He is a history major and probably understands history a lot better than you and I. You aren’t near as smart as you think
Because those that came here said that they all acknowledged Jesus! Not that they acknowledge nature and the crap 3 daughters says. Bologna! That’s why. It’s an important part of our history which folks want to sweep under the rug as if it doesn’t exist but it does
Read my response again, it’s clear that he felt his calling was to pastor. I’m not smarter than the next guy and not naive to think that anything I post on an internet message board will change your mind, not my intent. But my guess is that you only converse with those who think like you and that can be very dangerous and divisive. The world is full of wonderful people who believe differently than you, love differently than you and so on. That’s the real problem, anyone who is different is “crap’ to you. Our country never was and never will be a Christian nation, we’re not a theocracy which is exactly what the founding fathers intended.
Because it fits his narrative, not really, but he’s been told by others with an agenda that it does.
You are the one that came out trying to belittle everyone else’s view and statements with your opening sentence. The fact is our laws were made from directly out of the Bible. Our founding fathers always opened in prayer and almost all of if not all of them quoted the Bible on a consistent basis. So call it whatever you want, call them whatever you want but that is all FACT!
Also up until just the last few years more people in our country identified as Christian as compared to non Christian which made us a Christian nation until just recently. Now we are the minority. But the Bible does say that broad is the way to destruction and Narrow is the way to Heaven so it makes sense that the numbers will be less on the Christian side of things
Madelyn O’Hair filed complaints and lawsuits on prayer in school. She is the 1 person who got prayer taken out of school. She was an Atheist. Our society always listens to the 1% and rule on behalf of that small percentage and it makes no sense. That decision catapulted this country into the wrong direction and it shows. You can try to argue it but the proof is in the puddin
That is why they love folks like Charlie Kirk. Someone that reiterates and confirms to their narrative.
There have been arguments about Washington both ways. Based off these quotes and the quote in his last battle being saved from being killed with folks dying all around me lead me to believe he was indeed Christian. You make your argument as if all those guys were deist but from what I read they almost all public claimed Christian
I could have sworn this posting was about charter schools participating in the NCHSAA and not a history lesson or political opinion post.
Everything about Republicans and Trump. It’s always their talking points
Get back on topic with Charter schools. This isn’t the place to discuss politics or religion.
I’ve been lenient on political parts due to it being involved in charter schools.

I think 2a is fine. Charters can do fine in 2a of course. But they wouldn't just run through the 2a bracket unscaved.
If by "fake schools" you mean PUBLIC charter schools, the short answer is no. Ain't gonna happen.
40 years ago we saw the pitchforks after the parochial schools although the NCHSAA bylaws stipulate that non-boarding parochial schools can join the association. Some schools were having a hissy fit because they got clobbered by Charlotte Catholic. The parochial outcries would flare up every 6-8 years.
Now we see the smaller schools getting impacted by the charter schools. My own MH Cougars will be playing a charter school tomorrow. My philosophy has to adapt to the change. Those kids and coaching staff at Corvian worked their rear-ends off to be where they are, and as a Yancey county man, I respect that. I like competition, and maybe we win or maybe we lose, but we are playing the hand that was dealt.
With all of these open enrollment school districts, I don’t think we should automatically segregate these schools from everyone else. I’d rather have an ADM multiplier that could possibly level the playing field.
I’m not an advocate of charter schools, but I fault no one for finding the best place to send their kids.

Not all charter schools are created equal. Some have more kids than others. Some are more successful than others. Some even have more $$$ and physical resources than others. When will the playing field be equal? Probably NOT anytime soon ...
Private schools should never be allowed to participate in public school playoffs.
If you’re not RURAL, you will never understand. That’s my take on it, believe what you want, just as I believe there’s never been a lottery that wasn’t rigged! I am sure those kids at both schools have worked their butt off, as they should, but that doesn’t make it right! I voted in November against it, and until more people do, unfortunately, things will remain the same.
I agree. Luckily we don’t have private schools playing in the NCHSAA playoffs. Parochial schools aren’t private schools, and there is a difference. They can be classified I guess as non-public schools, but not all non-public schools are private.
I completely understand the sentiment, but at the same time I also require a preponderance of evidence that something is being rigged more than a statement of I believe this is happening. An accusation has to be proven or it remains accusation. I can support being suspicious and wanting more oversight and transparency of the process by state and to NCHSAA.
I don't think Charters will be going away though, especially as more people graduating from them come of voting age. They likely will support them even more having attended one themselves.
The evidence is out there. I’m not going to spend an hour citing what I’ve seen for myself, what’s the point? There is and may always be the exceptions, like what Cherokee is doing in women’s hoops, but across the board in all sports, it’s just a matter of time until the schools of small rural communities have nothing left to play for. As I stated in my previous post, if you ain’t rural, you’ll never understand!
Look at UCA wrestling if you want to see what an all star team is. At one point they had kids from Chatham, Lee, Randolph, Guilford, Davidson and Montgomery County. Please tell me how a small rural or small city school who has what they have can compete against that? And when WSP was winning in basketball people were charged up about it. 6'8 and 6'9 kids that come from all over forsyth county playing 1A ball against home grown talent is ridiculous. Bishop girls is a fine example as well. Girls from several counties on those teams playing small school teams with what they have. Defend it all day, but the truth is out there and it has been a problem and will now become a problem for the higher classes after May! Goodbye and welcome to 2A/3A/4A classes with the all star teams.
