re: the term "Government schools" -- a good friend who has long been active in education issues such as textbook "censorship" (by the left) says that "government schools" is a far more accurate term. Although there is a degree of local involvement (school boards, votes on taxation), all the *real* decisions are made in the headquarters of the state departments of education, with the local schools left to figure out how to implement the policy directives.
That was not my arguement. I simply stated that Boortz is the only talk show host I have ever heard use the term "Government schools".
