EDUCATION & VICISSITUDES of the MARKETPLACE

I for one would want you to go one step further! Keep education out of ethics and morals, and give any parent far more control over the selection of schools, limiting only the distance covered by a school buss.

I am annoyed to be forced to pay twice for a primary education, both public and then private too!

Where does the state get such authority to force some of us to pay double, only to lower the cost for others. No other English “common law” country dopes that.

Any "separation of church and state is totally bogus! If I choose a parochial school, I have that right. So how does the state have right to make me pay for both? I must pay for one, either one, not both, both when my children attend school, and when they do not.

Having no rights and paying doth is outrageous and not American!
