In truth, education is a service, not a right. You should not be prevented from getting an education, but you have no right to force your neighbor to pay for that education at the point of an IRS agent’s gun. So the state should not be paying for it anyway. But until we get to that point, we need to deal with the situation.

It’s all about finding the right balance between federal oversight and giving states and local communities more say in how they educate their kids. What do you think about all this? How do you see it affecting your local schools or your education? It’s something to keep an eye on as it develops!
