Bill;
Thanks so much for taking the time to prepare an articulate response to Wilson's recent letter. These 'government school' opponents never seem to understand the fundamental mandate of public education. Nor do they recognize the outcome: a country with an immense population which, by and large, enjoys the economic and democratic successes far and beyond others. Seems that one argument of these folks is similar to one I have heard in other communities: why should I pay taxes for services (roads, utility systems, public transportation, safety, etc.) that I do not frequent? Guess that is what a 'society' is all about. And, thank goodness for that!
