Reason:
There are too many government teachers and school workers sitting in the pews. Not only that, but there are all the spouses and businesses ( and their employees) who indirectly who snuffle at the government school trough. Even my dentist and all his employees are very dependent on the government school dental insurance that walks into his office.
Few ministers are brave enough to bite the hand that puts money in the collection plate.
Instead, ministers and his congregant teachers will talk about “reforming” the government schools when, in truth, every teacher or minister who supports the government indoctrination camps **IS** part of the problem. Everyone of them is helping to drive a stake through the heart of freedom.
Another problem contributing to the lack of church-based schools is the Prussian model brick and mortar school. These schools are very expensive to open and run, and have **tons** of regulations surrounding them.
Solution:
Conservatives must **stop** looking to the churches for help. Conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) must start **NOW** to form independent education foundations to give grants to individual conservative teachers.
As for the brick and mortar school, we should abandon the idea. Most of nation before the 1950s were educated in very small one room school houses. My own mother, a resident of center city Philadelphia, attended a Catholic school with only four room! (2 grades per class) Instead, conservatives should fund the individual teacher, charge no tuition because that is what the government is charging, and sponsor very small one room schools, mini schools, and homeschool cooperatives.
By the way...Conservatives must work to get sports, theater, and the arts out of the government schools and into private sponsorship ( best) or under the control of the departments of parks and recreation ( better than what we have now). Sports and other non-academic subjects generate tons of “rah-rah” support for government schools in many communities.
Yet...Even if they do this, it is likely too late.

And I would know exactly how to start this up, fund it and run it. I spent two years as the President of a preschool cooperative. All we would have to do is get an online K-12 program. Piece of cake. Excellent idea.
