Why not pay them back for the years you freeloaded off their money. <br /><br />Silly story and silly argument about Hitler and the Prussian model. Anyone see an American Hitler? Maybe Rick Santorum, Chris Christie, but seriously. Every industrialized country uses a version of the scary Prussian model. <br /><br />Name a country that uses the free market to educate their kids. Please, fill this space with you brilliance.Democurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336177394503335112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183447461205976739.post-4471614931769823902012-02-29T20:27:16.737-06:002012-02-29T20:27:16.737-06:00Our state controlled education is on the Prussian ...Our state controlled education is on the Prussian model. The same model used by Hitler. State control of indoctrination is a necessary attribute of totalitarian states. The U. S. system is no different. More that 90% of the budget of any local school board is used to meet state and federal mandates. The parents and the local community have little to say about what goes on in these institutions. Bishop McFadden's comparison is accurate. His proposed solution of vouchers is not. The only answer is to end any state control of education and let educational institutions compete in the free market for like everyone else. State-education is an oxymoron. I would never send my children to a state run school yet I am annually stiffed for the expense of these state indoctrination centers. We should be thankful to the thousands of parents who have borne the burden of homeschooling their children. From their ranks there may be some hope for the future of this country.<br /><br />DowneyDowneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183447461205976739.post-5908740193499838032012-01-29T07:08:12.737-06:002012-01-29T07:08:12.737-06:00Frankly, I have about as much respect for the opin...Frankly, I have about as much respect for the opinions of a Catholic Bishop as I would for a Mafia spokesman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
