Wow, just wow!

One of my children attended Liberty Common. Neither it, nor its sister school Ridgeview Classical, are run by liberals. Liberty Common is one of the top performing high schools in the state.

"Liberty Common High School’s senior class broke the state SAT record, according to 2018 results released by the Colorado Department of Education.

A total mean score of 1322 earned the Poudre School District charter school the top rank in the state. D’Evelyn High School, a Denver school, set the previous state record in 2017 with a total mean score of 1307."

Which is probably why they had little tolerance for Libtarded activism and shenanigans.

I thought more about this thread... I've heard people I know who aren't religious say they'd like to have a Conservative secular school option. Here in DougCo we have a couple of charters like this too. So here's that option but if the school actually practices Conservative values, there's a problem?

And if the school allows degeneracy then it's no different from a public school which eliminates the option/school choice.

I'm a big supporter of school choice. I think there should be more secular options that focus on academics instead of SJW BS. I see Libs attacking the charters we have on socials all the time. They feel any funding that goes to these schools takes funding away from their precious failing public indoctrination facilities. Of course, the funding follows the kids/enrollments so that is nonsense but they hate school choice, options, and any values that they can't control.

I am sure the school is academically excellent, but why does distributing 25 condoms around the school warrant disbarment from the graduation ceremony? The question of charter vs normal public is really not the issue here.

It's exactly the issue. The charter school has rules and standards students are expected to follow and they're enforced, unlike most public schools. It's not a secret they're keeping from anyone. Students failed to uphold standards and/or violated rules or codes of conduct. Maybe I'm simple-minded but it seems pretty clear to me.

Honestly, if it were my kid that was punished like that, I'd be OK with it.

Yeah, this is nuts.

Am I on the right website? You think that’s a liberal school)? Next you guys will be complaining they don’t have any needle zones.

I read their values and unless it’s poorly run or has some sort of 3rd focus agendaI might have to move north so I can enroll my boy there so I don’t have to quit my job and home school him.

No it’s not nuts. Who cares what it was, condoms or otherwise... maybe it was more about the student embarrassing others than about the actual condoms. If they push integrity and personal responsibility, hold students accountable, and focus on academics with some healthy social / athletics, then that’s becoming an island here.

It is an OxyMoron (punny) to complain about how schools fail to discipline students, and out of the same mouth, complain when a school disciplines someone slightly too much.

Nothing is ever consistent in life, nor is it fair. If we bitch en mass about how something was slightly excessive; then you produce a system where it's safer for the school to take no action at all in every other instance.

The kids didn't "walk" but they still graduated. It has no lasting ramifications nor does it affect their future success. If anything, the slightly unfair situation better prepares them for life, if it wasn't for the attention upon it. Justice isn't fair. The sooner they learn it, the better.

Honestly, I wonder what the net effect would be if schools intentionally metered out unfair punishments more often and with irregularity. Perhaps those kids wouldn't grow up with false expectations of how our government works, or the belief they have a "right" to "feel" their version of "fairness".

TLDR: 1st world problems, who gives a shit.

^^^^ THIS

The standard public schools and the teacher's unions don't want to be held to performance standards. Their strategy seems to be to dumb it all down and make sure the kids get an overdose of social engineering to make sure they follow the party agenda in the future.

I have 2 nieces that went through the classical education at D'Evelyn. Both are closer to Gen X'ers than Millennials, but a chunk of that is probably due to their Gen X parents that raised their kids like they were raised.

How'd you like to be one of those students that had a condom hidden in their gear and found by a parent that holds that kid to high standards? If you want to be stupid, that's on you. If you want to be stupid and it affects others, then you should be held accountable for your actions.

For those not familiar with Bob Schaffer . As my state rep years ago Bob was one of the few who actually responded to any calls or letters sent to his office. His stance on the 2nd was unquestionable, as well as his interest in public schools not veering from the academic outline.


Bob was also one of the few, if not the only one who when his term ran out, stepped aside. As he said he would, honoring term limits one of the initial platforms he ran on. Him and Wayne Allard, 2 R's who i truly miss in the political world

That sounds like Carrie White's family. Don't go to prom!!!

I would be concerned about a family where an unopened condom showing-up unexpectedly could cause catastrophic emotional issues instead of a few basic questions.
