Amen, Sister! I have been preaching the same for years!
ALL government schools are an daily object lesson in socialism. This can NOT be reformed.
Government schools were a socialist idea from their very beginnings in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
Just by attending government schools children learn every school day for 13 years that it is OK for the government to take money from their neighbor to pay for a service that their parents want for **free**! If the government can get their neighbor to pay for schooling, why not medications, retirement, disability, college, transportation, and even entertainment?
It is my belief that we have the IRS, FDR's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society, etc.)because one to three generations of Americans had been acclimated to socialism simply by attending government schools every day. Even worse, they are taught by their government teachers that it is their **right** to do this! .
This can NOT be reformed. Prayer in schools, local control, eliminating teacher unions, ( etc.), none of this will fix government schools because taking money from a neighbor to pay for a service that parents want for free is a **DAILY** lesson in socialism. Socialism can NOT be fixed!
BTW I think if we get rid of property tax and make the schools compete for tuition the majority of the socialist doctrine would die as well
