We don’t let government determine how we practice religion; where we work, live, and play; or who we choose to socialize with.
Yet we are told society has agreed to let government have full control of our children for a significant portion of their waking hours.
Like every government operation, school are funded through seizure of property (taxes), politicized through elections, and protected from criticism as a “public good.”
I have chosen not to let government forces train my children. Many more are joining the ranks of the home educators. They are learning the frustration of paying property taxes in addition to their own educational expenses. The concept of vouchers is an attractive one. “Free” money always looks attractive at first.
It is important to understand that vouchers do not loose one from the yoke of government schools, but strengthen the government’s grip on the education of our children.
In this episode of The Bob Murphy Show, Jacob Hornberger discusses exactly why reform is not the path toward freedom and choice in education.
