Too many conservatives do NOT know that state compelled government education really is a relatively recent idea. In my county, for instance, our government school high school is celebrating its 100 year anniversary. Until the beginning of the 1900s ( after my father and mother were born!) state compelled government education was not universally enacted into every state's law!
In my county until the 1950s and 60s there were still plenty of grandparents and parents who **personally** knew the people who broke the sod, hacked out the trees, and built the primitive bridges and roads for the first time in this county. While these people were alive, teaching their values in the home, and staffing the compulsory state school, the damage of having socialist schools was minimized. These people are dead now, and the full force of the damage of socialist government schools is now being seen.
So?....Perhaps our nation's children could survive the socialist lessons taught by attending taxpayer funded schools in the first half of this century. These children still had enough members alive in their families to keep them grounded in our nation's founding principles, but not any longer.

Correct. The NEA and the Obotomy left run the show now.
