Government has no business imprisoning the innocent. But if it has to do so, it would make more sense to imprison adults than children.

     Funny you would refer to it that way. My mother has always maintained that public schools exist to keep kids from roaming the streets in the daytime, & that the function of education is wholly secondary.

[Associate Justice PiT]

No, but homeschooling should be banned. I have yet to meet someone who was homeschooled and turned out normal.

     I take offense to the suggestion that I'm not normal.

[Associate Justice PiT]

No!  But of course educational attendance (or home schooling with testing) should be mandatory. I am not in favor of making private schools illegal however. That is nutter.

This.

     Agreed. Good to see somebody understood the question.
