In my opinion, our education system was fine until the government decided they could run it better than local communities could. Makes me wonder about their ability to run our health system.

Whether it was fine or not - and I would say it wasn’t - the system is never going back. We have two choices - submit to it (school reform is an absurd activity that has always failed to produce anything except more money for the left) or secede family by family from the corrupt and decaying government school system.

McGuffey, of McGuffey's Readers, said that teachers hired by the school board should be able to teach to the students anything the parents desired to be taught but that the choice of subjects to be taught was to be determined by the parents alone, not by the teachers.

Even if school districts were the size of a suburban subdivision, the government schools can **never** be religious, culturally, or politically neutral. One neighbor is forced ( by threat of armed police action) to support the religious, political, and cultural worldview of the largest political bully group.

Large district or small, **all** government schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination.

Makes me wonder about their ability to run our health system.

If our atheistic government schools with their godless worldview are moral cesspools, so will our health system. I expect that we will be forced to pay for abortion, ( even late term abortion), forced abortion of babies with defects, and euthanasia of those considered to be useless eaters. It will Terri Schiavo on steroids.

If our government schools attract students with the lowest SAT scores, medicine will soon be the same.
