Along the same lines, you might try writing letters to the editors of local and regional newspapers, and ask them to write stories about the double-pay dilemma . Washington state has a large number of home-schoolers, so they should be willing to consider a story along these lines. As for the second issue, I think that the assumption of public schooling's social and political beneficence is not justified in light of the historical and modern evidence. Far from encouraging social harmony and participatory democracy, I think the evidence points to public schooling as a source of community conflict , and a barrier to the freedom of citizens to seek and obtain the sort of education they value. I try to share these observations whenever possible, and encourage people to discuss the materials presented on the School Choices website with their friends and neighbors.
