I had asked if the school would be receiving taxpayer money or not......well, it will be......more than 75% of the funding will be public money........so, conservatives, how do you feel about a PUBLIC school giving graduates free college tuition? Since some of you were all giggly about this "charter" school opening up........sounds more like a socialist school, with freebies everywhere...........:popcorn:

Hopefully, it will be 25% better than most schools.

You realize "most" public schools aren't failing? Nah, doesn't fit the agenda......
What does 25% better have to do with failing schools? I never said that most were failing. Since he is putting up 25%, for how long that lasts, "I hope they perform 25% better." You read into my statement something I did not say.

I commend Lebron for caring and seemingly being a stand up guy. All we ever see are the ones who end up being in the news for the wrong reasons.

While I applaud what LeBron is trying to do........lets be clear about one thing......This is a "charter" school and is not a traditional "public school". LeBron's school is not open to all the potential students that live in the area near the school. Potential students have to be "selected" before they can enter the lottery that will determine the students that will attend the school.

Free tuition is fine with me as long as the money doesn't come from government coffers.

The students who attend this school will probably perform poorly on their final exams.

So, if the majority of taxpayers agree with "free tuition" then you'd be OK with that, too? Great!
That would be a "NO". You may support Bron's school if you wish...But if the issue was put to a vote and the issue passed , my tax money would be in the pot...

But, if 25% is Lebron money and 75% is taxpayer money, then the tuition is being paid by tax dollars.......[thumbsup]

All YOU see is what you want to see. That much is clear.

So, LeBron took all the credit for this school, despite tax payers paying 75% of the costs? TRUMP is right. I like Mike too.

Yes. I saw his interview. You probably only digested the part where he once again used his thug platform to take cheap shots at OUR President. I was under the impression this was all Lebron, and didn't realize that the city of Akron was paying for most of it, well at least not before reading this thread.

You still seem very confused about the story. Thanks for sharing though.

I don't think so. LeBron James, right? Biggest narcissist athlete in all of sports. Why not just do something good for the community, like Randy Moss does, without going on TV to give a shout out to yourself? Remember the Decision? Decision 2, Decision 3, Decision 4? Did he even graduate from high school?

Why are you so jealous of LJ? the only cheap (racist) shot taken was by the so called prez at LJ and Don Lemon. Trump should apologize to them both.

How was that a racist remark? First of all, you do realize that both of those dudes took shots at Trump first, right? Of course, some would like to think that a President of the US would simply ignore stuff like that, but TRUMP hits back. It's his style, and one that I like.

Back to the racist remarks. Why would that be racist? You do realize that TRUMP has slammed all walks of life, right? Why do you only seem to see the ones where he slams black people? TRUMP hits back against blacks, Mexicans, whites, Puerto Ricans, women, men, young people, old people, people on their death bed. All walks of life. Explain how calling Don Lemon stupid is racist. I mean, Don Lemon is stupid, you know.

Now I see why you're so confused. You don't even know what was said between LeBron and Don Lemon but you come on here and rant about it anyways. LeBron said. “He’s dividing us,” James said. “And what I’ve noticed over the past few months [is] he’s kind of used sport to kind of divide us, and that’s something that I can’t relate to, because I know that sport was the first time I ever was around someone white, and I got an opportunity to see them and learn about them, and they got an opportunity to learn about me, and we became very good friends.”

What "shot" did Don Lemon take at Trump? I've been looking for it but can't find anything.

I agree with LeBron, Trump likes to divide people. For some reason he likes this culture war BS. LeBron and Lemon aren't the first black people he's questioned the intelligence of, he did it to Maxine Waters too. He's called NFL players who take a knee (almost exclusively black) SOBs. I could go into Charlottesville or other instances where he's shown his racism.

Moe....Seriously.....you don't question the intelligence of this nut? As for Lebron....bless him for his community work and he is a great,great BB player......but I wonder if he knows that wearing glasses with plain glass lens will not help him to see better.......maybe RPJ can weigh in on the subject.

Nope sorry, I'm not a racist.

Why does Trump persist in questioning the intelligence of black people that he doesn't like?
He questions the intelligence of almost everyone that he disagrees with.......In the case with the anthem....I never saw him question anyone's intelligence.....I think it was more about disrespecting our country.

Perhaps you should google Don Lemon takes shot at TRUMP, and you'll see he's done so for the last two years. Only racism I've seen during that Lebron interview was Lebron being unwilling to sit across from TRUMP and talk, but of course, he added that he would be willing to sit across from Barry. Why would he be willing to talk to an Ex-President who happens to be half-black, but not willing to talk to a current President who happens to be white? Perhaps LeBron is the racist????

As for the anthem, he does not give one **** as to the reason that the black athletes are taking a knee instead he chooses to change the discussion so that he can criticize those same black athletes. Ever heard of "********" countries? Black people live in them...and it goes on...

Whites were taking knees. Whites live in the ******** countries. You're a race baitor, just like Sharpton, just like Don Lemon, just like LeBron, just like most on your side.

You bring nothing to the board regarding Lemon, not surprising. Nope just you and the prez and others that think like you.

Why the hell would I want to post about that moron? You're right, it's not surprising I don't bring anything to the board about him. I don't bring anything to the board about you as well. You're both irrelevant race baitors.
