Complete separation of school and state! No interference! None!

Wishful thinking is not positive. In this political climate your wish as a hard demarcation will never happen. What I posted is a way to get there.

The plan I outlined is not wishful thinking and is already working. Vouchers, charters, and tax credits are increasing every year. Record numbers of children are be educated outside of the grip of our nation's K-12 single-payer schools. The reason is that pressure from the voting public has forced legislators to provide these alternatives. It will continue to grow.

In my state there has been a flood of children who are nowusing On-line programs. Yes, they are offered by the state but they are run by privately-owned companies.

What is needed is **less** control from state agencies and school boards and more opportunity to choose private alternatives. Do this and the reforms you seek will naturally follow, as well.

The communists furthered their goals gradually. Those supporting the Constitution can do so, as well.

Will we ever see complete separation of school and state? Likely not, but this should be the goal. If an arrow isn't pointed at the target it will never hit the bullseye.
