De policticians dez had dis idea dat we gets a credit from da tax wez pay to goes to a private school werez de childen gets a good edication. Buts downs here in Hampton, wez no gots a private schoolz for de childen, an wez cants afford de gas moneeey to pimp da ride ups to Columbia ors nears Beeufert. Soz I donts see howz de State helpin’ folks down here.
Here’s an easier solution, strike the “minimally adequate” language from the State’s constitution and insert language that it is the General
Assembly that has the sole authority to decide the appropriate level of State funding for the schools within the State, not some abstract construct subject to nebulous legal terms like “minimally” and “adequate”…. do this and send it to the voters for their approval in the next election cycle, then just ratify it… there, problem solved…
strike the “minimally adequate” language from the State’s constitution
And this, folks, is how SC ends up in the national media and made out to be the laughing stock of the nation.
“We’ve failed to provide minimally adequate education, so we just removed the requirement! Why are we bottom of the barrel in education again?”
I could care less what you or the US thinks of what this state does… I’m a South Carolinian, not some f@cking carpet bagger like you… thus, go f@ck yourself.

This is Fitnews. You might as well get rid of all those fucking @’s
Seems like Taos doesn’t have the balls to say fuck!
You both miss the point. There is NO “minimally adaquate” language anywhere in SC constitution provisions on education. The Supreme Court made up those words out of whole cloth per their interpretation of the Constitution. Can’t remove something that isn’t there.
While commenters speculate on whether FITS is paid by Howard Rich, for Kevin Bryant there is no question.

Wow a lot of businesses in Philly love that dude. Coincidence? Hmm.
Give tax credits to parents to send their children to what ever school they choose. Let the money follow the child. Sit back and watch parents vote with their feet. What do we have to lose ? Oh, that’s right , a few more generations of our children. The people of SC certainly don’t need another tax for ed. Remember all the “penny for progress” or some such crap ? Nothing is going to work till we give parents a way around the education establishment.
Sometimes, it’s hard to tell the difference…
…between “Voucher Clowns” and “Voucher Pimps.”
But, krap like this post makes the distinction irrelevant.
A voucher clown is a voucher pimp. Tom-Tommie Davis, Kevin-Bimbo Bryant and SIc(ko) willie all qualify as voucher clowns and pimps for Howie the Voucher Clown.
Message to all voucher clowns – particularly Tom-tommie and Bimbo=Bryant. Quit pandering to Howie the Voucher Clown. People recognize your pandering,
And, Howie the Voucher Clown is the Cato disciple/bag man of/for the Koch Brothers.
Wonder what bastions of education exist in the rural Pee Dee areas that will be accepting a whole load of minority students? Hammond got a satellite campus?
They can’t even write a check.It’s,Saint Peter’s Catholic School.Put an apostrophe ‘S’ on there.That means it’s theirs.
I know all about Catholic schools.When they manage to get in a public school,they’re put back a grade or two.
What is the documentation that SC public schools have failed special needs students?
