Fund Students, Not the System

Commentary & Opinion

Fund Students, not the System

When you go to a grocery store or any commercial enterprise in a free market, you are in charge as a customer.  You have the full power to decide what you will purchase, and you have the power to exit and go somewhere else.  When you enter a public school, you are no longer a customer.  You are an appendage that does not matter.  Your voice is essentially meaningless.   The public school system is a monopoly – first in line are the ideological biases of School Board members 🡪 then liberal groups, the national Democrats Party narrative, and teachers’ union 🡪 and then, you and your kids at the tail end.  In a public school system, nobody cares about you because the funding does not come directly from you, and you lack the power of choice. 

When students are funded, they have the power to leave schools that do not serve them.  They can go elsewhere for high-quality education.  In a free market, schools are decentralized, and they do their best to serve their customers.  They stop being political and instead of answering within the political system to a handful of School Board members, they are now responsible to each individual parent.

The power of choice is vastly more important than government control.  Democrats showed us that government control is lawless and full of deceit as they hide documents, limit parents’ opportunities to speak up, and disregard views that are different from their own.
