Public schooling, a non-rights based government program that provides everyone with education regardless of the economic circumstances they were born into, does not create equal starting points - but it is an improvement in the equality of everyone's starting point. Hardly a dystopian nightmare. Seems to me that there is a lot more we could do while still avoiding your dystopian nightmare scenario
- robertlagrant 4y agoNo, you're mixing up concepts. Public schooling is to do with equality of opportunity.
- kennywinker 4y agoWhat set of rules did you use to draw the line between an opportunity and an outcome there? Why does it stop at highschool, and not continue on to university, jobs, or board seats? Because you might just as well frame public school as the government stepping in to mandate that there are seats in elementary and high school for everyone.
