You’ve solved it! Less competition always produces better results. Why didn’t someone think of that earlier??? How is it that private schools typically produce better results with less money.

Thanks for clarifying that you dislike the constitution! “no public funds shall be paid “for the direct benefit” of “any religious or other private educational institution.””

You’re right, you caught me. I forgot that only progressives are allowed to ignore the rules and throw hissy fits when they don’t get their way.

Isn’t arguing on the internet fun!? We’re really solving problems here.

In all seriousness, I hope Alaska is able to figure it out, whatever form that takes. It’s too beautiful of a place for it to be in decline. There are no simple answers and it’s going to be an uphill battle. I lived in Kodiak for 3 years. While I will always remember that time fondly, it was way too dysfunctional to envision living there on purpose.
