Absolutely. This is easily one of the best pieces of legislation ever passed by a state in US history, even if the courts struck it down. I'm actually amazed any state actually did ever propose to completely abolish private schools, I always assumed that was just a far out dream of mine.

People in the northern parts of the United States tend to have an authoritarian streak.


Yes, we have a history of being real slavedrivers there.

Yup, Northerners drove and sailed slaves to many places.  The North became anti-Slavery not so much because they loved freedom, but mainly because they didn't want ns living among them, taking jobs from white men and driving down wages.

I'm on homeschooling.
And do you know what I'm gonna say?
F**k you guys.

That's probably the most persuasive argument that could be made in favor of the act.
