All it took was one to three generations of socialist-funded and single payer school to get Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt elected.
Even if the socialist schools successfully teach reading and arithmetic and have teachers with a conservative philosophy just BEING IN a socialist-funded school teaches the child to be comfortable with accepting socialism.
Gee! If a powerful voting mob can give the child tuition-free school, why not use that power to grab for **lots** of free goodies?
