No. It is THE argument. It is exactly the argument I was making.
Besides, even if you allow for government funding, there is still no legitimate reason for the federal government to dictate the curriculum. The government could provide vouchers and let everyone make their own choices.
Frankly, public schools were a LOT better before Jimmy Carter invented the Department of Education in 1979.
Can't argue with that.
Though, to be fair, local school boards are responsible for their fair share of educational stupidity.
