Yes, and of course without the wonderful government stepping in, most parents will let their children lapse into idiocy because they don’t want them to succeed! Same argument that the ‘progressives’ have always been making. It really frightens them that competition may be introduced into the education arena.

It terrifies them because public education is a bastion of power for the left. Just like they are trying to do with health care. It’s not about doing good, doing the right thing, helping people, it is all about taking and holding political power.
