23. "Government schools"
You can always tell someone's political ideology if they refer to public schools as "government schools".

They are community schools. If parents attend PTA meetings, conferences, board meetings, they are participating in their kids' educations. My dad used to go to board meetings and advocated for better academic programs all the time.

They just don't want their kids going to schools that teach them to respect everyone. they want to be able to teach their kids to hate gays without anyone else presenting an opposing viewpoint. Which is their right, just don't expect me to pay for it. My taxes should support the community school district, not the baptist academy or any other private school.
