I am opposed to inaccurate generalizations and do not deny that I am a Nationalist. Millions of students are educated in America's public schools and that will NOT change. There is no alternative- not home schooling nor private- for the bulk of Americans. These are viable alternatives for a very small percentage of the population, the wealthy or ideologically motivated.
Perhaps the first goal of a new nation is to create a public school system and for good reason. A nation wherein only the wealthy or connected can get a decent education is a nation condemned to failure. One of the reasons this is the wealthiest, most powerful nation in history is because its public education system has served it well.

We are the wealthiest people to ever walk the face of the Earth and yet we pretend we can not afford schooling without government aid/control. I've been in slums all over the world that had *multiple* naturally occuring private schools for extremely modest fees that even the impoverished slum dwellers could afford.
