Would we really?
How much formal education did Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin or Abraham Lincoln have? On average, how much formal education did the Greatest Generation have,their parents, or their grand parents, yet, we enjoy today all that the 20th century invented and built.
And?...How many children are imprisoned in “free” government schools and fail to learn anything at all ( except to be good prisoners of the state)? How many children's lives are utterly ruined because of their government school experiences?
And...I wasn't generalizing. I was specific about my comment. It does seem from these Freeper posts that ( specifically) atheistic liberal/Marxists **are** the strongest defenders of the government schools on these threads. Atheistic libertarians do not in any way fall into the category of liberal/Marxist. Liberal/Marxism is, in my opinion, a religious worldview. Atheistic liberal/Marxism is merely a subset of the general religious worldview of Liberal/Marxism.
Atheistic , liberal marxists.
Why so much hatred in your heart for people you disagree with on evolution?
I am not arguing in defense of 'free' government schools. All I am saying is that almost everyone except my libertarian friends support them.
But everything you are saying is correct. They train people to learn to depend on the State for everything. We are watching a natural progression from schools, to Social Security, to Health care, to Housing, to guaranteed bank deposits, etc, etc. The chains are tightening and no one is doing anything about it except trying to make them comfortable.
