The public education system, run for decades by minions of the Democratic Party, continues to deliver ever-declining results for ever-increasing costs per student. Its primary function ceased to be education a long time ago, and it has a sterling record of squashing any attempts made by parents or others to find working alternatives, including those alternatives supported by the disadvantaged.

Public education has devolved to this point from a decentralized, non-unionized system run at local and state levels, a system that built the greatest technological civilization on the planet, put men on the Moon, and cost a third of what we're paying now in constant dollars. If this were really about education, and not political power, we'd be doing things a lot differently.

Note that people who think it's a crime to make someone show an ID to vote are all set to strip the citizenship from those who don't like the idea of compulsory indoctrination by an education system controlled by a single political party. Think about that for a minute.

Democrats are only interested in "choice" if you choose what they want you to choose. I can think of many examples, and I'm sure you can, too. For an exercise, try to think of any "progressive" idea or policy that does not involve forced compulsion.

Progressivism is nothing without compulsion.

They do not have to be scratched very deep to reveal what they really are.
