Public educations was good when it was strictly on a local basis and paid by (and controlled by) local taxpayers. When it became funded by state and federal government it went straight to the socialist way of life.
I started school in 1950 and the percentage of tax paid by my parents for my education for 12 years was NOTHING compared to the same costs for a 1 to 12 education today.
I believe that property owners (and renters who pay property tax as part of their lease or rent payment) should ONLY pay school taxes WHILE THEIR CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL.....................PERIOD!
Don’t make people like me (66 years old) pay my entire lifetime for a “piss poor” socialist indoctrination of our little liberal zombies at a cost that is simply stupefying and cannot be justified at all.
When people have to pay for their children’s education while they actually attend school they will be one hell of a lot more concerned with both the quality and scope of the education they are paying for. If they know that they will pay up to 12 years for their own children’s education and then be forced to pay another (estimated) 75 years for other people’s children and have no say about it.....wouldn’t that be a clear case of forced servitude to the government and wouldn’t that be called Socialism?
It’s time for a property tax revolt.
Would slavery be good if controlled locally? Really?
Well....Government schooling can NOT be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral. It is WRONG for any voting mob to impose its anointed and NON-neutral worldview on other people's children, and imprison children in its government buildings, by threat of government police and court action. It is WRONG for the government to force citizens to pay for this abomination by way of police threat.
The above is true for slavery or government schooling whether the community consists of 30 people or 300 MILLION.
Fundamentally..,. Government schooling is a freedom of conscience and First Amendment human ABUSE! It must be ended even if those enslaved in the system are worse off after emancipation.
BINGO!
Socialism is slavery with soft handcuffs.
Government schools are the very definition of a single-payer, godless, compulsory-use, compulsory-funded, SOCIALIST ENTITLEMENT!
And...It is amazing that when the words “slave” and “slavery” are substituted for “school” , “child”, and “student”, the defense of government schooling immediately becomes the defense used for SLAVERY in the 19th century!
Do an experiment. Try on the next post that defends government schooling.
