in the democratic arena they almost invariable compensate their battered egos by raising up the blood cry for radical privatization.
Such is the case today with Jeff Jacoby in the Sunday Globe who is astonished to discover that thanks to the Parker versus Hurkey decision public school curriculum is set by elected school boards and not by pettish parents incited by columnist to mob rule.
Class size in the Commonwealth is what? twenty three pupils per teacher, imagine trying tot each to such an unruly cohort and reach some accord with twenty three sets of parents on what shall be taught?
No, there is a reason why democratic bodies constrained by law and tradition control schools...anything else is sheer chaos.
If Jeff and his friends wanna opt out then there are hundreds of private schools out there to choose from.
Let them set up a scholarship program for junior conservatives or stop whining and start their own damn school.
Well of course, then the cry goes up as to why they should be taxed for schools they don't use and often revile?
Wa-al shit there I have no answer, other than to say trillions in public debt has been authorized in my name on behalf of a war I consider useless...so there is plenty of pain to go around.
