Does that mean you are a republican but against all their positions?

OP - you are going to have a very tough time finding a non-religious private school that doesn't require immunizations with tough academic standards. I honestly think you will find much better options in suburban public schools - places like Southlake, Plano, etc...you'll not be required to have vaccinations and there will be gifted/talented/AP (if you child qualifies). Families will have a diversity of political opinions.

I did see this chart that shows where public/private kids are not vaccinated. It looks like Kessler School has a decent percentage. I always thought this school looked nice - small through 8th grade. That said, no idea if there are enough families that are conservative to make you feel comfortable.

Of course not. I'm a nominal republican for three broad reasons.

A. Libertarians are never going to be elected into enough positions of power to be anything but an annoyance party. That and they most always nominate screwballs.

B. Small l liberals view the constitution as a hinderance to their desire to jerk the wheel left ergo the document means little, a set of suggestions instead of the greatest and most important document in the modern history of mankind.

C. Small l liberal marco-money/fiscal policy ideas range from silly and unsustainable to self-destructive. More or less tagged from the least crazy say Paul Krugman - hold people to no minimum standards of behavior this side of felonies to outright socialists who see all successful people in the private sector as subversives to Modern Monetary Theory, which is a transparent plan to move the country left of any decently functioning economy on Earth right now.

It's scary and very sad but many younger Americans seem to be proving Marx as prescient.

I read it. He made a silly flippant comment and you played along. I get it. I used to be a liberal I recall the need to play games and be silly. Sometimes that's all you've got.

You misspelled 'definitely' as 'defiantly', hence the joke.
