Gun run schools (you call them public schools) are hardly choice. We favor the complete separation of school and state. The purists think this should happen tomorrow morning. The practical among us see a need for vouchers for a few years to allow the private school industry to build up its capacity.
Either way, full choice on all education issues is with the parents. No more political fights about spending, curriculum, evolution/creation, phonics/whole language or whatever.
I get the feeling that conservatives think that they have to diss libertarian ideas even when they agree with conservative principles.
Now there's a delema. Where does the Constitution say Separation of Church and State when it comes to homeschool, or public worship? It says government cannot dictate what religion we must be. Some are Baptist, some Catholic, some Methodist. If all are supported, how is it unconstitutional? The government does not chose which one for us, we chose. So, private schools should be funded ASAP. What's the problem? There's plenty out there. First come, first served until more are built. Who dictates the waiting period? Libertarians? How sweet of them.
