There can't be such an animal as a `right to education' any more than
there is a `right to a color tv' or a `right to two cars'.
These things are produced by somebody's labor (although one might not
think so in looking at recalled automobiles, the occasional incompetent
professor, etc). You no more have a right to the products of another's
labor than he/she has a right to the products of yours. IF you choose
to donate your labor to someone, that's fine. But don't claim to have
a right to the products of others' labor. You don't.

Further discussion on this probably belongs in a poli-sci newsgroup or
in private mail. Thanks.
