.......and you think doing away with public schools is dumbing down america? You seem to be siding with liberals.

Nope. I remain consistantly conservative with my position on abolishing the Department of Education, getting fedgov fingers out of our schools, and returning control to the state or, preferably, local communities. I simply do not go along with the simple-minded extremism of abolishing public schools altogether. That's asinine.

I think the idea is competition and many believe the current structure of public schools, in most disricts, cannot survive an environment where parents can chose.
