He needs to go study the roots of the government schooling movement in this country (and others). It may have looked nice in the 50s. He may have gotten a good education. But the seed was planted in poisonous ground and even then the motives of the people behind “public” schooling - not the teachers, but the administrators and visionaries - has been incompatible with a traditional conservative American viewpoint.
If the schools next door started producing world class graduates better than what I could do at home I still wouldn’t put my daughter there, because I disagree with institutional Prussian-style schooling.
Art is familiar with the history of American forced education. Trust me on that. You and I are knowledgeable on such things and hence we home school. The average American doesn’t know and doesn’t get it.
My goal is seeing Art elected. He’s solid, very solid. He’s also big on home schooling: http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/

I find it discouraging how few Freepers, who are conservative in every other way, fail to understand.
I have been hammered in the past for being too strident...but..honestly, I fear for this nation. One more generation of children ( future voters) indoctrinated in godless and socialist compulsory schools and we will be a nation of slaves.
