I guess that is why your premise of the post is so important. Vouchers enable even poor parents to join the well off in breaking this system of institutionalized intellectual poverty.Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923956208093654911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-15536568758450452192011-03-28T08:04:35.538-07:002011-03-28T08:04:35.538-07:00Boyd, you make a great point, but I think that tho...Boyd, you make a great point, but I think that those mechanisms can be overcome fairly easily and quickly once we admit the source of the problem.

Public provision of a private good combined with top down command control (thank you Kevin Williams). The education industry long ago stole the moral indoctrination of children from parents. This was not an abdication by parents. It was a nanny knows best policy instituted and operated under force of law. I see no reason to let them off the hook for the results of their actions.Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923956208093654911noreply@blogger.com
