The problem with public schools is that they are “public” and run by government. The problem is that these government-run public schools exist in the first place.

Moreover, if we agree that children have a right to an education because their parents are poor, then shouldn’t they also have a right to food, a bicycle, a nice house in the suburbs, and designer clothes? If poor kids (and all children) have an alleged right to an education, don’t they also have an alleged right to everything else that other kids have whose parents are well-off?

There is a complete Resource section in “Public Schools, Public Menace” that explores many of these quality, low-cost education alternatives.
