My original points still stand:
1) Our current public education system is not delivering anywhere near the results for the money that the system of my own childhood did.
2) In addition, the education bureaucracy is primarily focused on politics, not education. The teachers unions serve a single political party and ideology, with the NEA the number 4 political donor in the entire country. Diversity is important everywhere in education except in the field of ideas.
There is considerable evidence of cause and effect in these two things, but that's another story.
3) The idea of free choice in education--competition or alternatives to the public school system--raises actual fury among liberals, even here.
There's your "fear"--a political ideology that needs force to survive.
