I got into a discussion with a friend about this the other day.

Please state a cogent argument for infringing on personal freedoms. If that is not possible, please delete this asinine question.

I apologize for not posting a topic worthy of your high standards?

I'm sorry if that posts sounds haughty. I only meant that if you're going to posit such a controversial proposition, it would be helpful if you posted an argument on its behalf.

Well I was opposed to it, but what my friend was saying was that as a society we need a well-educated population and the only way to assure that was by making sure they had a public, state-monitored education. They also cited homeschooled kids not developing the social and personality skills that kids who have a traditional education develop, which is also harmful to society as a whole. Basically a general feeling that having compulsory public education may infringe on personal liberties but it's better for society as a whole.
