In America, we have a federal goverment, state governments, county and parish goverments and a variety of community governments; not a borderless Libertarian hegemony

No! Don't you see? It's the great Leviathan against us!

For the purposes of our discussion (the function of government in public education) the government serves as the accurate general term. That is to say, the FEDS, state, local gubmints all take your money by force and give it over to the public schools, whether or not you use them, and whether or not the schools perform. Hence they do the same thing on different levels, and this was the point of our discussion. Referring to any of these levels of government, that perform the same function as far as we're concerned here, as 'the government' by no means makes me a conspiratorial nut, but if you need another strawman to poke fun at so as to avoid a real discussion of ideas, go right ahead.

Do you tell people that you took your Ford car or your Chevy car to the store, instead of the generic term 'car'?

How much force could an LP government use against communities that resisted orders to shut down their schools?

Already answered that 'question' in a previous post, after which, instead of taking issue with my response, you ran off onto the "THE" government strawman. I might say that your asking that question shows that 1. You clearly do not understand libertarianism and that 2. You don't seem to understand how our schools work.
