Public education in America is the death of freedom

The public education system needs reform, but it's hardly the end of freedom, and there's no way to get rid of it. You sound like a conspiracy theorist. Also your position is foggy.Explain how children are being indocrinated. Common Care- " The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an educational initiative in the United States that details what K-12 students should know in English language arts and mathematics at the end of each grade."I don't see how there's a problem with this. Charter school- Created by state law, charter schools are an example of a public/private partnership designed to enhance educational opportunities for public school students. Charter schools use tax dollars.So can you clarify your position on charter schools and common care?Immigrants:Your biggest concern seems to be with immigrants.Pro states:"How can the parent of an illegal immigrant child be considered good and deserving of the high cost of the education their child will receive?"Now first you use the word "good". I am going to assume you're speaking in terms of morality, so I shall explain why its moral to provide immigrants with education.P1: We should act in ways that promote overall well-being.P2: Providing immigrants with education promotes overall well-being.C: We should provide immigrants with education.On P2:1. Providing immigrants with education will have positive outcomes in the workforce. Giving immigrant children an education will provide them the skills needed to help the country compete in the global economy.Education Is A Basic Human Right:The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, Article 26: "Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit."My opponent states that immigrant children are not deserving, however the universal declaration of human rights, per the United Nations, says that all humans have a right to education.This declaration is objective and not up for interpretation: Article 30. Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein. Illegal Immigrants Pay Taxes: The states receiving the most tax revenue from households headed by unauthorized immigrants were California ($2.7 billion), Texas ($1.6 billion), Florida ($806.8 million), New York ($662.4 million), and Illinois ($499.2 million) {See Figure 1 and Table 1}. Discrimination Against Immigrants Is Unjust And Un-American:Pretty much everyone in the country is a descendant of an immigrant.The founding fathers were immigrants.Throughout American history we have used immigrant labor.Bracero Program: The Bracero Program was created by executive order in 1942 because many growers argued that World War II would bring labor shortages to low-paying agricultural jobs. On August 4, 1942 the United States concluded a temporary intergovernmental agreement for the use of Mexican agricultural labor on United States farms (officially referred to as the Mexican Farm Labor Program), and the influx of legal temporary Mexican workers began. The founding fathers supported immigration:Hamilton and Jefferson: "Immigrants exhibit a large proportion of ingenious and valuable workmen"Thomas Paine viewed America as: "the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty." It is unjust to deprive education. Immigrant children are born into their situation and it would be profoundly immoral to keep them in this poor socioeconomic state by depriving them of education.Positive Economic Benefits: Findings show that gross domestic product (GDP) will grow, the legalized will pay more taxes, and immigrants will add tax revenue and economic activity. GDP gains range from 0.3 percent to 0.8 percent per year ($83 to $150 billion),depending on the labor force growth stimulated by immigration reform and the increase in earnings of the undocumented immigrants who would be legalized. Lack Of Public Education Has Traditionally Leads To Not Freedom: Slavery: African American slaves were intentionally kept ignorant in order to subjugate them. If they understood their situation, they would have been able to quickly revolt.19th Century Russia: Under authoratative Tsarists rule, serfs were intentially deprived of literacy and knowledge of political events in order to encourage apathy.Taxes:We have to pay taxes in order to establish institutions, I hope this is not news to you.I don't know why it bothers you that immigrant children are benefiting from this. It seems to me youre just incredibly natavist.Nativism: " Nativism is the political position of demanding a favored status for certain established inhabitants of a nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants.[1] Nativism typically means opposition to immigration and support of efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered hostile or alien to the natural culture, and assumptions that they cannot be assimilated."This is exactly what you're endorsing. You are wanting to deprive children of education in order to keep them in this poor socioeconomic state.It's Hard To Become Legal: I know this will come up. I Don't have enough characters to explain, in-depth how complicated the process is, so I shall just put a picture: Conclusion: My opponent just used some vague conspiracy theory like, nataivst, xenophobe arguments. I am interesting in hearing a vigiorous intellectual argument. My opponents contentions seem to be immigration and taxes.My points:1. It is just and beneficial to provide immigrant children with education, per the doctrine of human rights and economic study.2. Immigrants pay taxes.3. Natavism is detrimental (which is common sense, so I didn't spend time on it, but I will if need be).4. Education leads to freedom. deprivation of education leads to subjugation.Sources: http://immigrationroad.com... http://en.wikipedia.org...(politics) http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.urban.org... http://www.huffingtonpost.com... http://braceroarchive.org... http://www.immigrationpolicy.org... http://www.un.org... http://www.irs.gov...
