The problem is public education, which converts what should be family issues into political ones. When the country was founded, there were no public schools. Government schools make just as much sense as government newspapers: which is to say, none at all.

When the country was founded, there were no public schools. BZZT. Thanks for playing. Pennsylvania's state constitution (1785) called for the establishment of public schools, and by the 1820s there were public schools all over the place. The first publicly funded school was founded in Boston in 1635. Thomas Jefferson was a supporter of public education as far back as the 1770s.
If you're gonna be against public education, fine, but be honest and informed about it. Your idyllic time never existed.
