If Chicago public school teachers strike, public education could be undermined

“At one time, all education was private. I am advocating a return to that model.”

Darteaus94025, you go for it, for your own children.
I dont support that.

Many of us seek a fast return to a more recent USA history of mandatory basic education for all children of citizens, overseen by individual states, and implemented on local levels.

I advocate the abolishment of the entire current Federal Department of Education, and disbanding all Federal Public Employee Unions.

The various States remaining free to govern themselves on those issues as they choose, IAW their own laws, enacted IAW the Constitution of the USA, and as mandated by their own State Constitution.

After that, each State can address civil servant unions as they see fit, IAW their own laws. Can we three agree to that?

“you go for it, for your own children.
I dont [sic] support that.”
And, that’s the beauty of the private system: You are not forced to support me, and I am not forced to support you.

“...mandatory basic education...” is not incompatible with private schooling, so you are objecting to something that I am not proposing, i.e. I am not proposing to end mandatory basic education.

Let me break it down to a simpler model for you:
1) You want the taxpayer subsidized and customer unaccountable US Post Office, and
2) I want the privately funded and customer accountable Federal Express.

God bless.
