Here is a challenge to anyone willing to take it up: What if we kept government out of education with as much energy as is currently expended keeping religion out of education? Would children learn to read and compute without a government-certified teacher using a government-adopted textbook during government-mandated hours? I personally know they could.
Check out the Alliance for the Separation of School and State for an example of people who dare to imagine schools without meddlesome government.
