Dear Democrat_media,

“Government schools” in Maryland began during the colonial era, when in 1723, the general assembly instructed the then-extant 12 counties to set up and operate “free schools.”

Anne Arundel County (the county in which the capital, Annapolis, is located) had its free school in operation no later than 1746.

The original school building still stands, located in a neighborhood of Davidsonville, MD.

If you accept that the government can implement government schools then you accept that the government is something that is good , effective, that is needed and can do many other things. but the government is none of that but an oppressive , tyrannical evil that doesn't solve any problems as well as the private sector and free market capitalism does. This is one of the seeds of all our problems, the idea that government is something needed and not that is something evil that needs to be opposed and kept extremely limited.

The media and government are always inventing some fake crisis or some fake need in order to justify more laws and more government brainwashing all to accept this “great” government service or something that the government will give to you.In reality all they are doing is growing government power and at the same time taking away our individual rights and freedom as is their goal( the socialists/democrats in the media's goal)

While there are early examples of government run community schooling, our nation's modern system of government schooling, as we know it today, began with the enactment of compulsory schooling laws of the mid-1800s.
