This article is disingenuous. The government is, and rightly so, involved with what we can buy in grocery stores. Before the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACTS, foodstuffs were adulterated,put in unsanitary situations,and things sold for what they weren't.
Prior to the government stepping in, education was a catch as catch can kind of thing in this country.Unfortunately, teachers Unions and LIBERALS have now taken over much of education and ruined it.The government SHOULD step in and reclaim education and fix it, but it won't.

I respectfully disagree. Market mechanisms moved to correct disturbances in the food supply and private canners and bottlers invented techniques long before the FDA was a gleam in a Bureaucrat's eye.
Many would argue the FDA has INHIBITED innovation and new sanitation techniques rather than encourage them.
Many thanks for your comments.
Best regards,

Guess we know where you went to school, and it took too.

If you concede that government is not going to improve education in the foreseeable future, there seems to be little point in complaining about the analogy.
I'd say that unregulated food is a great deal less dangerous than highly regulated educaction, but that's just me.
