Does not seemed to have done any good in Florida.
A person can legitimately argue that education is not one of the responsibilities of government to fund. However, the security of the citizenry is the major responsibility that we have assigned to government. So, to fund the security of its people is something that is clearly constitutional.
and where do you draw the line? shopping malls as armed camps? The post office? Hospitals?
Sorry. I’m not willing to live that way for a statistically infinitesimal risk.
That’s a reasonable response. At a minimum, I’d draw it at where people are forced by the government to be in given areas for given periods of time. I’d make sure other areas are aware they are liable for not having security, that any injured or bereaved have legal recourse which cannot be signed away.
The government doesn’t “force” you to be anywhere (except Federal prison). You can home school. You can send your kid to private schools.
Not so. They are required to be schooled. And many don’t have the means or the ability to use alternative methods.

I live in Ohio. I know plenty of kids who are home schooled. Or go to private schools.
I will reiterate; the government doesn’t FORCE you to be anywhere.
Fellow Buckeye. Cool.
In any case, read the findlaw write up on compulsory education law in Ohio. It’s good to know whether you agree with me or not.
