Of course that is not true, there is no law compelling children to attend public schools, just that they be educated. Abolishing that law would be a good start. People who do not want to be educated, can't be educated.
On this, at least, we are in agreement. Public schooling is a waste of money and a fundamental betrayal of the spirit of the Constitution. That we don't trust the government to hang on to our guns, or filter what we can say, but we trust the government with the minds of our children, is such a colossal indication of the general fecklessness of the general population it staggers imagination.
If we think watching Laverne and Shirley reruns is a better use of our time than taking responsibility for the education of our young, or the comfort of our elders--then we shall have richly deserved the boot on our behind from the omnipotent welfare state tyranny that arises therefrom like the night follows the day.
It is incontestable on the evidence that educated children happen because of educated and motivated parents at miniscule cost. What public schools spend, because of the arguments of universal access to education that have prevailed in this previous two centuries, in comparison to their results is incredible. Incredible that they have been tolerated all this time.
Undereducated, communistically indoctrinated cheerleaders coupled to a bored, unwilling, mandated audience is a recipe for cultural disaster. Parents ought to raise their own kids, rather than sluff it off on glorified babysitters on a mildly disguised public dole. What an amazing concept.
