The first line of this article sums up conclusions about government-run education which have been present in America for more than a century.
Yet, despite statistics documenting decline in real learning performance of children, despite statistics documenting crime and other related consequences, the politicians a controllers have persisted.
For proof of early efforts to warn Americans about unintended consequences of such a system, and supporting statistics and summaries provided by the then-prominent author, read:
"Poison drops in the federal Senate : the school question from a parental and non-sectarian stand-point : an epitome of the educational views of Zach. Montgomery on account of which views a stubborn but fruitless effort was made in the United States Senate to prevent his confirmation as Assistant Attorney General (1886)"
