We have deluded ourselves into thinking that the Government is our friend. Or, that is the only way. Or the best way to do “stuff”.
To have government run education makes no sense.
The failed Communist empire demonstrated that centralize planning dooms everyone. I could go on at great length about the systematic failure it represents.
Bottom line, as a Catholic with no kids, I object to the whole process. Faith based education can NOT compete when the government gives it away “free”. If I had kids, I probably would have to pay twice to get my kids educated the way I wanted — once for the government schools and once for where I wanted to send them. Since I have no kids, I object to overpaying to educate other people’s — I don’t pay to house, clothe, or entertain them — They are not mine, so why do I have to pay for them.
