Topics: education

Brief selections from my latest blog post at Beliefnet’s Casting Stones

“The government has the right:
  • to say that the major and most time-consuming activity of a child between, say, 5 and 18 years of age will be education…
  • to stipulate that certain subjects are to be taught…
  • to monitor through standardized testing whether or not such subjects are being taught and educational progress is taking place.
However, the government does NOT have the right to dictate where such education takes place and who will provide the education.”
