In the event that the exceptions that you fear are incorporated into the FairTax via legislation, the overall rate for the rest of us would have to be increased to make up the difference. Do you think there might be political resistance to that?

Look at how many Freepers have misguided support for the Fair Tax even though it exempts the education sector from taxation. That increases the rate on everyone else.

You obviously haven't thought this through very carefully. Tax codes throughout history have favored certain sectors of the economy at the expense of all the others.

You consider it misguided; I consider it a difference of interpretation. You obviously consider education to be consumed. I do not and I don't think that many others would consider education to be an article of consumption.
