How do you feel about a separation of education and all levels of government. Would you prefer...
1. A total separation.
2. A partial separation.
3. A guaranteed state-provided education for everybody.
4. Something else (specify).
Why in the name of anything would anyone want to divorce the will of the people from education? Even in the most free enterprise of educational systems, e.g. Germany, the state still sets regulations, standards for educators and pays at least the lion's share, even though more than half the schools are privately owned.
To rail against any government in education is ideological clap trap, poorly thought out, and likely eventual economic suicide.
The US currently is in the higher bracket for unemployed, no matter how much Obama and co. smear the numbers. There is an extreme shortage of white collar or "bright collar" workers, along with the fields on engineering, software and medicine. That was created through an eroding education system that is crying out for rehab, not profit seekers.
