American taxpayers direct enormous sums toward government schools. To what purpose? Do schools uplift or debase? How many promote love of country? Does government promote or discourage the foundation of republics: two-parent families which form the next generation’s first impressions?

Does government promote or discourage the foundation of republics: two-parent families which form the next generation’s first impressions?

I'm pretty sure any idiot would know the answer to that question.

While our forefathers took great pains to listen to the likes of Montesquieu in forming our government with checks and balances, they overlooked two critical institutions -- public education and a so-called free press.

Both have lead the way to our demise.

Too bad. So sad.

“Education in despotic countries debases the mind.”

Yes, that is why there are despotic countries.
