That's a dangerous road you are going down my friend.

BOR, with all due respect, providing for the Common Defense means having citizens educated enough to create,maintian, and use the weapons of modern warfare....That is not analagous to some half assed reading of the ICC....

Why do you assume there would not be enough educated citizens for the military without public schools?

No one is suggesting that we get rid of private schools, home schooling, or tutors. If people didn't have to pay taxes for public schools, they could use that money for private alternatives.

I'll admit, a small percentage of people would probably go uneducated without public schools, but those same people probably aren't getting much out of the current system. Even without public schools, though, I think we'd be able to find enough engineers and mechanics to support a modern army.
