Everybody knows the public education system is already owned by special interest groups, and continually growing. An example would be planned parenthood trying to teach health class, which I'm sure Terry would support 100% since it's democratic demagoguery. Private schools are the last resort for parents before having to teach grade school themselves. I'm an electrical engineer by trade, and went through Alaska's public school system, which was a joke. Get your GED, and bypass high school all together -IMO. Pretty soon the complaints will be about home school parents robbing the public school system, which shows the one-sided hypocrisy, angry, blame hungry, corruption found within these opinion pieces. I'm seriously getting tired of this continual dribble, and yellow journalistic -dare I say- vomit.
