But.........
EVERYone HAS to PAY FOR the government school!
And everyone pays for roads, for defense, for a Navy, for things that a community, established according to its size and population need as a entity -- police, courts, public heath, measures, care for the poor, the destitute and sick, the incapacitated, burial of the dead. Not only must we and should we pay for the schooling of the next generation(s) we also must make sure there is a next generation.
No one HAS to attend the government school.
The working poor have a choice???
