I came to the same conclusion -- and cast my very blue vote for Phillip Walker by mail -- for more simplistic reasons. I'm happy now to have your reasoning confirm my decision. Thanks Billy.

You always give Lakeland Christian a pass, but any private school in Florida that started in 1954 is suspect.

I said LCS is not a scam like most voucher schools — because it isn’t. It’s a real school. I don’t know it’s history — consequence of founding etc. I’ve certainly been critical of certain aspects of LCS — folks there don’t think I’ve given them a pass. But I also think it would be decent place to go if you were religious and wanted that.

You've never passed on writing about racial issues. What I recall is that LCS is "the cool kids table" and comments of that sort. It would be worth exploring the school's history. If it's what I suspect, make the "cool kids" own it.

I had a NO vote on any Canadys a while ago. They are conservative republicans. I will vote for Walker.
