If you ever want to demonstrate the failures of Socialism, Public Education is one of the best examples.
The reason I want to see the government severed from public education is that there is no way, especially in todays political climate, to separate it from political influences. Public education is now indoctrination. It's no fluke that all the education unions are controlled by hardcore leftists.
No fluke at all!
Exactly. My vote is for 100% privatization. Private tuition, or private charity. (I'd accept a state- or local-level means-tested voucher, only because that would be Constitutional and locally funded.)
