The Separation of School and State:
The Case for Abolishing
America's Government Schools
by C. Bradley Thompson

 

Why do so many Americans-liberal and conservative-support a compulsory system of government-run education?  What role should the State play in educating America's children?  Are government schools compatible with a free society?  Is it possible to have a free-market in education?

 

Dr. Thompson's lecture will examine the destructive effects of "public" education in America.  He will critique the principal assumptions behind government schooling (e.g., that children have a "right" to an education and that government schools are for the "public good") and will call for the abolition of all government schools. Thompson will present a principled argument for a free-market in education that begins with the rights and responsibilities of parents to provide for the education of their own children.


If you can attend, please let us know your thoughts about the lecture!
