The Kentucky case cited in this article is a terrible example for the author to use. If anything, it demonstrates that these arguments completely miss the bigger point. The problem isn’t the secularization of public institutions.
The problem is that most of these public institutions shouldn’t even exist at all. Public schools, for example, have no place in a free nation.
Could not agree more. Public schools were set up in the first place to concentrate power in the hands of financial oligarchs, particularly the Rockefellers. The goal was a more capable, uniform, and compliant workforce.
