You cannot be serious about this.  Most U.S. families cannot afford to
send their youngsters to private elementary and/or high school.

Yes, s/he can. I agree completely. The government has no business running
public school (among many, MANY other things it's doing). Most families
in the US could afford private schools if: A) They didn't have to pay taxes
to help support public schools; and B) Private schools didn't have to
compete with public schools for $'s.

Still, lots of families would be unable to afford private schools. I'm sure
that some of the fine, upstanding churchs we have would allow charity cases
free access to the church schools. Of course, the fact that you may not
particularly like the religion being taught in the church school should make
the school even happier to accept - they can brainwash children they couldn't
get to normally that way.
