Our Founding Fathers would be horrified to see that we warehouse children like government prisoners in prison-like structures and then teach them to think and reason godlessly, to meekly obey their government overseers, and fill their minds with anti-American and fascist drivel.

If our Founding Fathers could see the monstrosity we call government “education”, they would recognize immediately the conflict with the First Amendment and freedom of conscience.

Jefferson and our other Founding Fathers likely had in mind the education of himself and that of the other Founding Fathers:

**homeschool
** tutoring
** one room schools organized by the parents
** home based mini-schools
** home based academies to prepare the brightest ( with the means) for entrance into college as young teens.
** apprenticeships
** self teaching

“Jefferson and our other Founding Fathers likely had in mind”

Baloney.

The man’s words are written in stone precisely so religionist snake-oil salesmen intent on pirating the collective jackwagon can’t “likely” rewrite them:

“ESTABLISH THE LAW FOR EDUCATING THE COMMON PEOPLE. THIS IT IS THE BUSINESS OF THE STATE TO EFFECT AND ON A GENERAL PLAN”

We won’t get fooled again.
