- Children who are turned over to the state become molded by the state. Most parents cannot conceive of a totally privatized alternative because they themselves have been indoctrinated by public schooling to believe in its alleged necessity. However, it is fallacious for parents to think that children can escape government schooling without having their traditions and beliefs subverted. “Free” schooling is seductively attractive in the short run, but it has long-term costs. The dismantling of tax-funded schooling will not be accomplished until more and more parents say, “My child does not belong to the state.”
I home school my kids, as they are NOT property of the state.....how about you? | |

- Proponents of public schooling argue against the complete privatization of schooling on the grounds that the poor would not be able to afford tuition and that some parents would not provide schooling for their children, leaving them “uneducated.” However, the rampant levels of ignorance, subliteracy, and hostility to learning that characterize tax-funded schools argue that the present system is itself not serving the best interests of students.
How long until Americans wake up and realize they are SLAVES? Yes, I said it, and this is directed at people from BOTH 'sides' of the aisle! progressives reside on BOTH 'sides', and progressives desire one thing, POWER. Mitt Romney is a progressive, Rick Perry is a progressive, Newt Gingrich is a progressive, Rick Santorum is a progressive, Jon Huntsman is a progressive, and Barack Obama is a progressive. A vote for ANY of these misguided individuals is a vote for less Liberty! | |
