Yet Bush is overseeing the largest government expansion since the 60's. We need to move towards a voluntary tax system, and privitizing all industries, the government simply does not have the constitutional right to have federal education and other forums of egregious spending. Abolishing public schools takes care of one problem, teachers are amongst the biggest government leeches.

For the most part, I strongly agree w/ you. I would 1st abolish FEDERAL involvement in education, & give that (as well as dozens of other issues) back to the STATES where it belongs under our constitutional system.

We can work things out @ the state level later...some states may decide to divest their own government from the education lobby, while others may increase it. We can find out which works best over time (& being a former Libertarian myself, I would assume the former). Each state has different needs, based on what the people themselves desire to have.

But we have GOT to cut the Federal government down to its constitutional limits, & remove it from ALL areas in which it has no authority to be involved in, before we jump whole-hog into separating school & state entirely...& health care & state; & welfare & state; & transportation & state; ETC.

Abolish public schools and we will be left with the great conservative private schools like Harvard, Stanford, and Georgetown?
