Government schools are wrong for a number of reasons. High on the list is that it’s immoral to take money from me at gunpoint to pay for your children’s so-called education.
Then there’s the fact that even the advanced coursework is pretty much garbage. Or the pervasive humanist worldview, the emphasis on obedience to authority, and the unhealthy way schools warehouse hundreds of kids together all day every day. Like prisons.
I am in complete agreement that the federal government should stay out of the education system...
I choose to live in the state in which I reside, knowing full well that I may be paying more in taxes for this or that. We all have free will and can move to states that have no income tax, or very low property taxes. If the public at large in an individual state supports using tax money to fund public education... I don’t know how you can argue the money is used illegally.
I would personally prefer to pay for my kids education, which I have done for many years.
My beef with the story is this over generalization regarding schools in America. Most of us know there are some terrible school systems, but there are also some which do a very good job of educating the students.
Particularly bright students... even in the most liberal system they end up receiving the most advantages.
If my local schools hadn’t been great, I would never have taken my youngest out of private school.
