Yes dump the program, dump public schooling, so the taxes are lower, so people have money left over to organize education shared resource programs themselves. No state funding.
Dump publically-funded education? No thanks.
Anybody who wants to can send their children to private schoos, or they can also home school their children.
However, even if they do this, they must also pay school taxes, just like everyone else.
It is in the best interests of a country to provide a basic education to ALL of it's citizens, and since our government is secular, we don't indoctrinate people in any religion in public schools.
This is similar to the idea that it is in the best interests of a country to provide for the common defense in the form of a national military. Individual citizens, or entire regions, do not always agree with what the president or congress has the military do. Similarly, individual citizens or entire regions do not always agree with what is taught in public schools.
Do you then suggest that we should scrap the entire national military program, so that taxes are lower, so people have money left over to organize a shared resource program themselves?
Would this work?
