“We as citizens will have First Amendment Rights and freedom of conscience, or we will have compulsory government schools. We can not have both.”

Interesting argument. Unfortunately, it was lost over a hundred years ago.

They didn’t call it the “Prussian system” for nothing.

It's truly disturbing if one reads the history of public education. Our system is based on Prussia's, and Prussia's system was basically intended to create citizens that are pliable and compliant to the whims of the state. I don't see that such a system has a place in America.

It is not a lost war.

Please read my tag line. “Good ideas win! Why? Because people are not stupid!”

I truly believe this. Once freedom is explained to people they understand it. The only people who don’t are people who get a paycheck ( directly or indirectly) from the government oppressors. Hm? When it comes to government schooling who would that be?

However...We are in a philosophical civil war with Marxism. Marxism is our nation’s most serious threat, and schools are its most important weapon. If the Marxists succeed in indoctrinating the next generation of voters, we may be looking a 1,000 year long Dark Ages.

It **is** that important! Why aren’t Sean and Rush hammering on this every day?
