It goes without saying that the current version of our public school system is a cancer on our society.

Harsh wording. I (and probably millions of others) don't feel like the product of a cancer on society.

The tragedy is that parents have no control over their child's education

This is not true.

and that certain portions of our society have no qualms about commandeering those decisions from parents.

Which is why parents should fight back. Big government is like a weed; give it an inch, it'll take up the yard. But that implies you gave it an inch and did little to fight back. Isn't this our responsibility as citizens?

Self-righteous leftists think nothing of sneakily indoctrinating children with, to put it charitably, a bit over the top graphic sex ed that some parents oppose. Self-righteous christians think nothing about recruiting the state to force their silly superstitiouns onto the whole of the public school populations.

Both of these sides are terribly, terribly, wrong.

Neither can see that they are employing the same tactics backed by the same philosophy: WE believe your kids should be indoctrinated in OUR way and screw you if you don't like it.

There is an obvious answer to all this.... And anyone who actually values true liberty knows that school choice is the only moral approach to publicly providing education to the masses.

If you can't live with the fact that some people may not think like you and yet they should have the freedom to raise their children the way they like, then you don't value freedom.
