As an attorney, I believe that government schools should be unconstitutional under the First Amendment, “Congress shall make no law.....abridging the freedom of....the press.”  Government schools are abridging (and are incompatible with) a free press.
    During my legal career, journalists have asked me if it is wise (or constitutional) for government to control everyone’s education.  Most members of the media were educated in government schools.   In ways that are obvious and not-so-obvious, the government schools teach the media what to think and write.   
    Government schools are as unconstitutional as would be government instructors selecting and editing press stories.  Or if compulsory education were extended to include mandatory government schooling into adulthood with special classes for the media.  
    Government schools create media milquetoasts in the same way that Cuban schools create socialists.  Government schools in the U.S. are different only in degree from schools in the former U.S.S.R.   
    The media’s antidisestablishmentarianism is ongoing proof of the need to end government schools.  As they saying goes, “The purpose of government is to provide service, the purpose of the media is to provide Vaseline.”
    The U.S. did not have government schools when the First Amendment was written.  If the authors of the Constitution had foreseen the government’s education monstrosity then the First Amendment would have banned Congress from the establishment of religion and education.   
    The Constitution should be amended to include “education” next to “religion.”   The separation of school and state is as important as the separation of church and state.  And for the same ideological reasons.   The proposed constitutional amendment is discussed in detail at http://rexcurry.net .
    Even if an excuse could be made for the initial creation of some government schools, their ongoing existence is proof of their ongoing failure to educate people to handle their own (or their childrens’) educations without government schools.
