Stop Funding Education
Owasso Reporter
Letter to the Editor
5/18/2003
Its sad to see teachers’ unions and politicians square off when
it comes to funding the government-sponsored school monopoly.
In good economic times, the only negative that is brought up is the
continuing failure of education. In economic downturns, as was
seen at the May 1 meeting, it's a cry to steal more money to pay for
a system that is no longer appropriate for this modern age.
The time has come for Oklahoma to change it's Constitution, stop
public funding of education and let private competition take
over. If grocery stores were government controlled, do you
think we would have so much choice?
In a free market education system, the poor will not be left
behind. Home schoolers have shown it doesn't take much money
to beat government taught kids in all subjects. It would also
bring back morals, as low cost church sponsored schools would spring
up.
