Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: hmmm.....
Roads and highways are a good example, because they cut across local and
sometimes state boundaries. However, private colleges and universities seem
to work fine, why not grade school? I suppose if there was a great demand
in a community for a school which did not teach evolution, then such a
school would appear. And if all the parents who want such a school don't
believe in evolution, then I guess they ought to have the right to have
their kids educated in accordance with their principles and values, even if
they seem outrageously ignorant to us.
I don't get the fossil reference; forgive me, I'm a product of NY public schools!

Subject: RE: hmmm.....
Speaking generally, there are some things that are not well suited for the market and competition. One example are roads and highways, other example are schools. If you let the local communities run schools, you'll have evolution thrown out of schools in some parts of the country and the ones who would really suffer would be students. Ironically, Kansas is one of the greatest states for paleontologists and many dinosaur fossils have been uncovered in Kansas, of all states.

I don't know about your state, but Article X, Section 3 of the Wisconsin Constitution requires the State Legislature to establish district schools for every child between the ages of 4 and 20.

Eric,
I don't know how this thread got started, or where it's going, but since it showed up in my inbox, here's my $.02: Vouchers are a good start, but the real solution is no more public education. When did it become the government's job to run the schools? Did I miss that amendment to the constitution?
