But...Should there be a government obligation? I say, “No!”, for five reasons:
1) Government obligation means police force and court action. That **is** what government **is**.
2) Government schooling violates every First Amendment Right of the child and the parent. The risk to **all** the children is that they become comfortable with government functionaries violating their constitutional rights.
3) Government hasn't done a very good job with kids who don't want to learn and come from families who don't support education.
4) There have **never** been studies that prove government schools teach anything at all. Please read my post #42. It is entirely possible that the only thing government schools do is send home a very expensive curriculum that is followed **in the home**.
5) Godless government schools teach child to think and reason godlessly. The child must just to cooperate in the godless environment. How could be otherwise?
