What's your proposal for educatin' the populace, pray tell?
Why do I have to have one? I don't have a proposal for instilling
religion in everyone else's children. I don't have a proposal for
clothing everyone else's children. I don't have a proposal for
inflicting particular personal values on everyone else's chidren. These,
and a host of other things, are the job of the *parents* not a
meddlesome program of public theft and wealth redistribution. Government
as an instrument of education is analogous to having Michael Jackson run
a day-camp for 12 year old boys.
'Course, the way things are going, all they're gonna be needing is
proper diction of "you wan' fries wif that"?
That's, in part, because the highly-vaunted public education system has
turned into a political madrassas to indoctrinate its victims, er, I
mean students. Public education has become an enabler for irresponsible
parents, incompetent teachers, and indulged children. There is an old,
and very true, saying: If you want less of something, tax it. If you
want more if something, subsidize it. By that measure, we are subsidizing
irresponsibility, incompetence, and laziness and the results are all
around us.
