Re: Public education is political indoctrination paid for by theft

"It is the public system which is failing and producing spectacles of ignorance and miseducation..."

Yes, and (let's leave the stupid right and the stupid left out of it for a minute) it's astounding how, regardless that is a fact, it is simply ignored in these arguments. It's as if the fact of education is entirely beside the point of the funding sources for it. "It doesn't matter how much it sucks, so long as it's paid for by someone or another, who cares?"

The systems broken, and it's not going to matter if you throw more fresh cash at it or keep throwing the same old cash at it, because, like a crumbling plaster wall, it can't be papered over with any amount of green paper, no matter who's supplying the paper.
