I am in complete agreement that the federal government should stay out of the education system...
I choose to live in the state in which I reside, knowing full well that I may be paying more in taxes for this or that. We all have free will and can move to states that have no income tax, or very low property taxes. If the public at large in an individual state supports using tax money to fund public education... I don’t know how you can argue the money is used illegally.
I would personally prefer to pay for my kids education, which I have done for many years.
My beef with the story is this over generalization regarding schools in America. Most of us know there are some terrible school systems, but there are also some which do a very good job of educating the students.
Particularly bright students... even in the most liberal system they end up receiving the most advantages.
If my local schools hadn’t been great, I would never have taken my youngest out of private school.
Most of us know there are some terrible school systems,

1) So?....When did the voting mob get the right to FORCE godlessness on captive children and to FORCE the citizen to pay for the establishment of this godless worldview. When did this become great?
Just too cooperate in the classroom the child must think and reason godlessly in his godless government school. How could it be otherwise?
2) Simply by attending socialist-entitlement schools children risk becoming comfortable with socialism.
3) Where is the evidence that some government schools are good? Huh? Prove it to me. Where at the studies that show how much is entirely due to the afterschooling, tutoring, and work done by the children IN THE HOME and not due to the government teacher. There aren’t studies because schools of education have never done them. The results would put the government schools out of business.
4) Government schools trash every First Amendment Right. They strictly control speech, press, assembly, and expression of religion, and they FORCE a godless worldview on their captive students.
5) In many ways, children in government schools are treated like prisoners.
Personally, I consider government schooling to be sooooooo evil for the child and such a threat to our continuing freedom that I have made a decision. I will no longer have a government school teacher for a friend. They are to evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend.( I won’t have an abortion worker for a friend either. )
