Privatization is a good idea for all the reasons I have outlined many, many, many times here on Free Republic and elsewhere. In the free market of ideas, good ideas win.
Vouchers, tax credits, charters, on-line schooling, co-ops, and homeschooling are growing every year. I fully expect to live to see the day when government owned and run schools are non-existent or very rare. It is possible that I might even live to see the day that there is complete separation of school and state.
Large and intractable institutions can lose their legitimacy seemingly overnight. Some examples are the Protestant Reformation, the American Revolution, slavery, Jim Crow, same-sex marriage. Government institutional schooling is not special. It can completely unravel....quickly!
Quite honestly, I am bored with this debate, especially since my position is winning politically, with parents, and with the voting public.
I notice you didn’t answer the question as to why your position curtailing my freedom to choose is the position of FREEDOM and CHOICE.
