Did they rip FITS too? Because FITS is pretty left-leaning.

Trey Gowdy is conspicuously absent from the ‘reporting.’

We should be proud that our legislature decided not to join the Koch brothers’ little band of jackbooted red state legislators who have entered into some of the most corrupt crony capitalism education schemes to come down the pike.
And, who are smart enough to know we don’t have the money to fund 2 school systems. Who woulda thunk it?

We still need to stop state money from going to on-line charter schools which are totally unaccountable for everything. How about an FOIA on that, FITSNEWS?

News Flash! These Senators answer to the voters in their districts not some cabal. If their constituents don’t like how they are performing, then they will replace them at the next election.

This is South Carolina, voters rarely hold politicians accountable for anything.

See Fits got his check from Howie.This is the first time we’ve heard this non issue for awhile.Truth is this whole “school choice” issue is of little interest to many people,except a rather small,dedicated group of zealots whose main goal is to destroy the public school system Its even too much for these so called “Rinos” Fits lists who ,despite his hyperbolic mischaracteriztion are all well to the RIGHT of of even former REPUBLICAN presidential candidate Mitt Romney!

School choice is not the way to straighten the public schools out (it can be a tool used sparingly and judiciously). Joe Clark, a principal in a New Jersey high school, and George McKenna, a Los Angeles high school principal, greatly improved their school’s performance by making the students responsible for their behavior and enforcing discipline and by making the teachers responsible for teaching the students properly and holding them accountable. Sadly no one wants to do the hard dirty work of making the schools better. They want to throw a quick fix and a boatload of money at the problem so they can say “we did something”.

Are these career politicians still in session? Several other state legislatures are already back home and won’t be back in a couple months. Why do SC House and Senate members need to be in session for six months a year?

Will — what does exactly “uber-liberal” mean? You use that term a lot….I think you may have called me that once or more.

Anyway, no surprise that Club for Growth and FreedomWorks are attacking these GOP senators for their votes in favor of sanity.

So……voting against giving rich people tax breaks to abandon public education is to “screw kids,” but supporting 4-year-old kindergarten for needy children is a terrible thing. This is the weird world of SC’s far-right, folks.

What an informed and insiteful article. SC Club for Growth, ‘leading limited government groups.” I’m sure director Crease learned how to ‘limit government’ from the folks he worked for – Gov and Treasurer. Notice he’s not admitting which ones. Sanfraud? Trikki Nikki? Coke head TRav?? And lets not forget, whatever PACs say about candidates are very credible. No way is it like the pot calling the kettle black. PACs are very forthcoming about disclosing the corporate special interests who donate, and they only endorse politicians who follow the law, aren’t in the pockets of special interests, and disclose all their activities with a smile, without being asked.

I bet FreedomWorks is just as ethically motivated and credible as SC Club for Growth.

Riiiiiight. Is FITS geting paid for this, or is this just the usual 30 second uninformed blurb?

FITS, Judging by the responses to this column by your readers, your opinions and those of the SC Club for Growth and FreedomWorks on the subject at hand seem to be about as popular as a fart in church, and a lot less welcome. Maybe you need to move on.

Pretty funny — someone bashing public education in a statement that uses the phrase “one of the only.”
