Sorry, but just more meddling where they shouldn’t even exist.
How ‘bout kill the Fed. DoEd, parents/guardians pay for the education of their own brood (as the service it is). Nobody spends $$$ better than the owner (quality, quantity and outcomes would all improve).
Everyone seems to love to shout “smaller govt! Constitution!” and, in the next breath, “But, I’m willing to/for...”. Never a clean-slate, just ‘how do we shoe-horn XYZ into the current system/process’ (existing garbage = garbage out).
“Sorry, but just more meddling where they shouldn’t even exist.”
Fine, then get rid of them - all K-12 “public schools”.
But don’t keep them open, anyone of them, on “charitable” grounds” and then tax people to support them.
Yet, admit it - THAT is never going to happen.
So, as you will not in our lifetimes eliminate taxes for K-12 public education, then at least make 100% of their use the choice of the parents and NOT something “public schools” thinks “belongs” to them.
But you go ahead and be what you think is a “pure” Conservative, like Don Quixote, and I’ll keep working on what I think will transform the commitment to K-12 education from the “public school protection racket” to a system where parents chose their kids school - public, private, secular or religious.
Exactly. But this is a massive new entitlement for some parents and so those some parents who normally are Freepers become massive big-statists in their giddiness about the dollars that they see being redistributed from Joe Taxpayer to themselves.
