Penises should be left alone, including circumcision, until they are 18 years old...

For non-economists, though, this conclusion seems quite intuitive. Seattle voucher recipients got good customer service from a government agency - and just as it does nearly everywhere else, that turned out to matter a great deal.

There is a kind of brilliance in keenly grasping what is plainly true.  Thanks for sharing that, Fac.
Then it follows that vouchers ( or the like) to pay for private education would have similar results.

Well, bambu-ilk, of whom there are many worldwide, are totally against any sort of transitioning of gender pills, liquids, or any other drugs, surgeries, ceremonies, etc for/on minors, to turn children under 18 into a sex other than which they were born.
Your hatred is palpable.

IIRC, you are Catholic, so you likely experience sometimes being surrounded by folk who believe as Bambu does.  It's something I commonly encounter too.  My sense is it's more fear of something not understood than hatred (though fear in some people does fester rapidly into hate).  And for some men, their impression of transitioning to trans male is shadowed by castration anxiety. 

Expect Penis Laws ahead.

That plainly is not it at all, asshole.

A concierge service based approach to a universal public curriculum is what pays for itself with amazing results.

Your pet plan encourages cultists, groomers, and grifters to embezzle funds collected for education while only providing half assed indoctrination to students unfortunate enough to enroll. 

That is why private schools attract such luminaries as Jeffery Epstein and Ron DeSantis to their teaching staffs.

It has long been a contention at this shebeen that the republican party and the conservative movement, which is its only animating life force - acquired a prion disease when Ronald Reagan first fed it the monkeybrains of supply-side economics and Protestant splinter theology back in the early 1980s. Prion diseases, like kuru, are progressive. The early symptoms can be as inconspicuous as a patients halting gate, or a citizens voting against his interests. The disease progresses and the high functions are eaten away until the patient is paralyzed and dies. I think, with the election of trump, the Republicans may have drifted into the terminal stage.

I guess my comment cut a little too close. My condolences. It does explain a lot.

It has been my observation that most penises never fully mature and are perpetually 15. Right up to the moment they turn 70 and stop working.

Fun fact: the obvious draw backs to adult circumcision is one of the things that slowed the spread of the Christian church until Paul argued that conformance with Judaic law was not necessary as the price of admission to the faith.

He is trying. Give him time and do not put so much pressure on him. He swears this never happens and there is no way it could be his fault.
