You are insane is you believe this is truly free.
It is paid by you and me and is oppressive.
However....It is tuition-free at the point of entry. This causes truly evil consequences for all caught in its police enforced net ( student, parent, and taxpayer).
Government schooling is **fundamentally** a price-fixed ( at tuition-free), monopoly, compulsory-use, and compulsory-funded socialist-entitlement! And...It is GODLESS in the worldview taught to all children. It is evil.
Children attending government schools:
1) WILL learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise?
2) Risk learning that the same voting mob that gives them tuition-free schooling can give them **lots** of “free” stuff! It only took one to three generations of SS schooling ( single-payer and socialist-entitlement schooling) to give the nation two Roosevelts and one Woodrow Wilson!
Government schooling is evil to its core and all conservative should work to abolish it.
