In the mid-1800s when government took control of K-12 schooling.
Government schooling has **always** been a middle-class socialist-entitlement that is a single payer, compulsory-use, compuslory-funded, and price-fixed monopoly cartel.
Question: In the history of humankind has it ever been possible to reform a middle-class socialist-entitlement that is a single payer, compulsory-use, compuslory-funded, and price-fixed monopoly cartel?
Answer: NEVER
The only solution is to collapse the system. In many counties and even whole states the entire EVIL system of socialist-entitlement schooling would COLLAPSE if conservatives and Christians removed their children.
But....I suppose free babysitting is powerfully addictive.
By the way, I consider K-12 socialist-entitlement schooling to be soooooo EVIL for the child and such a threat to our nation's freedom that I will NOT NOT NOT have a government school worker for a friend! I won't have an abortion worker for a friend, either.
