^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I fully agree, but to do that support is needed from the voters. Getting that support is not impossible. Why?

—Homeschoolers are now 4% of the school-aged population, as officially reported by the government. This means it is likely 6 to 8% of this population. Attached to each of these homeschoolers are parents, close relatives, friends, and neighbors who see these children being educated for **pennies** a day, while they are paying school taxes that are in the 5 figures. That is not good for the educational-industrial complex at the voting booth.

— Add to this those children who are languishing on long waiting lists for vouchers, tax credits, and charters. These parents, relatives, friends, and neighbors are already a formidable lobbying group pushing for increased privatization of government cartel and monopoly on K-12 schooling.

—Homeschoolers have thoroughly proved that many young people can, and are, thriving in college, in business, the trades, and in their own small business **years** before their contemporaries are released from their government kiddie-prisons ( oops! “schools”). Relatives, friends, and neighbors are not blind to the reduced debt that these homeschoolers carry, but also the hundreds of thousands of extra dollars these kids will earn over their lifetimes. Rational voters will soon see that finishing school more quickly and efficiently pays off in dollars.

Each of the above removes children from the standard educational-industrial complex. The fewer the number of children being chewed up by the system, the greater will be the support for that nirvana of “Complete Separation of School and State”.
