Does it have to be the America military?
The idea here being that if someone has failed so far to obtain a university place or a job, we are going to make damn sure that they never achieve anything in life by refusing to grant them even a high school diploma?
"And if any of you spinal patients still aren't walking in six months, I'm going to come back here and break your legs."
Not even the Canadian military has twigs. Just leaves.
Does it have to be the America military?
The French Foreign Legion will probably do at a pinch.
3: Isn't it worse than that? Even showing a job isn't sufficient unless it's an "apprenticeship."
Yeah, in my OP riff, I should have said that we should withhold people's paycheck until they can prove that they will invest it wisely. Maybe a mutual fund?
I wonder if trade schools make money off applications fees such that accepting people who never even intend to show up would make money for them?
I also wonder if companies that previously hired people with high school diplomas wouldn't be able to create a new "apprenticeship track" with lower wages.
I wonder if I could invest my 401k in a "trade school" that exists only to write acceptance letters to high school students who pay the fee?
Moby is the only true American among us and on all the right tracks here.
How is the mayor in charge of handing out high school diplomas anyway?
I followed the OP's linked article to a Chicago Tribune article which quotes an unnamed official acknowledging that CPS high school graduates are already guaranteed admission at one of the City Colleges of Chicago.
Now they first need to get accepted somewhere else so they can get their diploma and become a CPS high school graduate.
14: It looks like they have a special arrangement where the mayor appoints both the school superintendent and school board.
17: Whoa. I know Chicago is a good place to go for corruption but figured that meant they'd know how to at least put a veneer of something else on it. Guess not.
Not the same thing but our city school district is home to the county alternative school (classes toward GED and for incarcerated students) and the state has raised the dropout age to 18 so you can't enroll in a GED program before that but judges aren't paying attention and keep ordering that for younger teens, who will then be in violation of the terms of their parole if they don't enroll where they are no longer allowed to. I'm in favor of the plan where the furious woman who manages the enrollment process gets to destroy all the people making the process difficult and then runs the world, but I haven't heard yet what more moderate measure was chosen instead.
Rahm Emmanuel is by all accounts an utterly horrible person. It's not surprising that he's also a stupid authoritarian.
There are lots of horrible non-authoritarian people.
Freedom isn't free. You have to work to not get it.
Also, this presumably exempts the idle rich in private schools, but majestic equality must apply it to idle rich in public schools.
Sleeping under bridges is now allowed, but you need to meet the property qualification to prove it's just a hobby and not a necessity.
And while I'm at it, was there anything more disappointing about the Obama campaign than the immediate selection of Emanuel to be chief of staff?
You get a special tax deduction on any bridge after the first.
At least Obama took his finger first.
26 No, and yet I long for those days.
I think it's the American people who got the finger.
"Waiter. There's a fly in my soup. It's eating the finger."
"Everything else is noodles and that's not Paleo."
What about some kid that wants to be a ski bum for a few years or travel the world with nothing more than a backpack, passport and a trust fund? Guess those options will be off the table.
It's pretty amusing to recall the halcyon days of 2008, when Rahm Emanuel was a Democratic heartthrob with the Chicago mayor's office, the Illinois governor's office and the White House strung out before him like pearls.
With purchase of verse of equal or lesser value.
Better retort: You know who else cared whether things were kosher? That's right. Maimonides.
The Republicans want to make homosexuality illegal, but they're so bad at heterosexuality that the governor of Alabama managed to get arrested for it.
"Welcome to the Bible Belt. Our governors put out."
Alabama, where the Supreme Court puts up statues of the Ten Commandments and the governor breaks them.
Maimonides
"Rambam"?! Are you kidding me, Wikipedia?
I'm assuming that's the name he boxed under.
And you can tell Avicenna and the Scholastics that I'll see them at Wrestlemania next month in Dallas! And this time ... THE ELUCIDATOR WILL TRADUCE ALL DEPARTURES FROM TRADITION WITHOUT MERCY! WOOOOOOOO!
Gorsuch got me way down. Can't wait for the flood of horrific SCOTUS opinions. We are so fucked.
So is the Supreme Court going to find that obviously discriminatory voter ID laws are not, when looked at properly through Fox/Breitbart eyes, discriminatory, or are they going to find that the right to discriminate shall not be infringed?
What about some kid that wants to be a ski bum for a few years or travel the world with nothing more than a backpack, passport and a trust fund?
Oh, these rules and regulations don't apply to trust fund kids, who are attending private schools in the first place. Never fear! the options for the offspring of the wealthy are still rich and varied and interesting, and still all but unlimited.
Public school kids, on the other hand, are just hostages to the latest fad for "measurable outcomes" in education.
Also, as long as we are talking about Chicago, 25 or 6 to 4.
48. Also, the regulation would just mean that the kid has to get accepted by the college or whatever. They're no obliged to take up the place. Write a check to Rahm Emmanuel College for $1000 and we'll say no more about it.
33, 48: Can't find a reference, but someone on Twitter mentioned that there is a specific exemption for kids taking a "gap year" because of course there is.
