I know people are concerned about the government takeover of private schooling.
Should a voucher program be implemented, the worst case scenario would be a return to today's situation.
But the government will never take over private schooling because parents would revolt against their school being destroyed by the federal government. Republicans would have a permanent constituency of voucher-redeeming parents.
Assuming the worst, the complete takeover of private schools by the government, wealthy parents would simply found non-voucher-redeeming schools. And we would return to the current situation.
SO WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!
Iserbyt would disagree—That the destruction of public school is very dangerous, but that local parental control of schools is always essential. Even “State” control is too big now.
The Gates-types will buy off all private schools——like they did with Notre Dame U. in Indiana and made the curricula into secular pap although it is supposedly “Catholic”-—LOL-— where they now promote abortions and homosexuality and have such a demonic person, as obama for commencement speaker.
Money is Power and it will corrupt the system just like crony-Capitalism has destroyed our Republic and “legal” system. The curricula will be brainwashing cr*p like Common Core-—no different....everything through a Marxist Lens for little Johnny. The Leftists have total control of the text book publishing companies and “testing” and universities-——and have for 80 years.
Parents will be dupes like they usually are, since most have no time to research and are ignorant from “public” school and MSM indoctrination, which has been teaching lies about child development for a century now.
We need parents to be the First teachers again-—schools to be locally controlled and public and never mandatory-—but only with Classical Education —all the Neo-Freudian, Malthusian, Darwinian brainwashing of the post-Deweyian “group think” totally removed.
Well, what happens when the state decides that all these private schools have to be licensed and regulated by the state, and must teach to certain state required tests?
What happens when the state dictates certain curriculum requirements in order for private schools to qualify for "voucherization"?
The federal government MUST be completely removed from the education business. And the federal Department of Education must be abolished yesterday.
