School Choice, Here & There

The Alliance for the Separation of School and State posted a link to the video below on their website. Here is what they said about the video, “. . . This six-minute clip from the great British comedy series, "Yes, Prime Minister," . . . exposes brilliantly - and hilariously - the arrogant presumptions of those who regard parents as being unqualified to make educational choices for their children (and who regard politicians and bureaucrats as being worthy to be trusted with such choices.)”

Tertium Quids, a blog, adds, “Only the Brits could create such a cutting -- and accurate -- argument for school choice:”



The same truths portrayed in the video apply to American education as they do to British schools. School choice is really the only thing that will save our miserably failed educational system. The socialist and secular humanistic approached to education has proved totally unacceptable. I advocate the total elimination of the useless bureaucratic nightmarish maze of federal and state departments of education and the breaking of the monopoly of the teachers unions.
