I grew up in a family of government (not public-use of public service is voluntary) school teachers.
This article, even as old as it is, shows that we need to eliminate government schools. They cannot be reformed, improved or modified to support liberty, now or in the future.
There are excellent teachers and even minimal-harm (some people would call 'good') government schools. I actually believe that a large majority of teachers are both potentially compentent and have the best of intentions. However they work in a system that is broken.
There is another thread that points to this site, but it is worth re-pointing. It is the
Alliance for the Seperation of School and State. There are many wonderful articles that are very insightful.
