“State-run schooling never was and never can be a neutral enterprise. Our government schools originated as an ideological project: Their purpose…was to combat the competing influences of family, neighborhood and church—and of one church in particular. To vindicate parents’ rights and respect pluralism, what is needed isn’t merely “opt-outs” from bureaucrats’ unsound curricular decisions but more, and meaningful, school choice. Let public-education funding follow families’ decisions.” – Richard W. Garnett
