One of his favorite arguments: “Why can not trust the free market to educate our children – the very idea of ??a free market excels at many things, they say, but does not guarantee education” equity “for our children.
What is this “equity” apologists for public schools to talk about? This means ensuring that all children receive a “quality” education and “equal opportunity” to learn. “The cruelty-free market,” the public school bureaucrat says, “the rich get the best schools, the middle class to poor and poor children are left in the dust.” This, they say, n ‘is not fair, not “justice.”
But why not apply their “equity” theory to food, clothing and housing? They should not all the houses, food stores and clothing factories also owned and operated by the government to guarantee “fairness?” After all, the rich eat better, warmer clothes, and live in houses finer than the poor and middle class. It’s not fair, right?
No, that’s right.
In a free market, making more money than the other usually wins. They risk more, work harder, work smarter, to persevere, to make better life decisions, or choose a profession that has a greater chance of acquiring wealth. Why not just enjoy the fruits of their labor, their character, their life choices?
Moreover, what people earn a financial success has not been taken of those earning less. Is it the fault of the successful person is successful least not work as hard, persevere as long, or make better decisions? If you are looking to blame for the differences in income, not put it in those who succeed. Blame it on life, about human nature.
Nature made all men and women different – different talents, capacities, strengths and weaknesses. It has always been that way since humans left the trees and began to walk upright. To end your foot on wage inequality is to stop the foot to the human nature, which is to end its foot in reality.
If “justice” for all people is our goal for every “inequality” among the poor people of the middle class and rich, whether in food, shelter care of health, or education, the government needs to sack people more financial success with taxes to remedy it will not cause that is not their fault. This notion of “justice”, extended to all aspects of our lives to turn America to a socialist state police or communist economy. In a state trooper, success is punished and “leveled” with the progressive income tax, so that each of us ends miserably equal and equally miserable.
But it is an old story, the story called envy. The unfortunate who hate the happy, the unfortunate who hate success, all trying to save his pride by taking the envy. The Soviet Communist, tried to eighty years. The result – a mess of poverty, slavery, and failure.
“But,” say fans of justice, “Why punish the children? Is it their fault that their parents are poor?” No, it is not, but is not the fault of those who are not poor.
Even if we want this “capital” for our children, our schools have done to children the same opportunities and the “quality” of education during its 150 years of control? Jeanne Chall in her book, “The challenge of academic success,” the darkest site statistics that 70 percent of fourth graders from inner-city reading below grade level, the explosion of the prison population consists mainly of men reading and math skills are at or below the eighth grade. These are just the tip of the iceberg of statistics that demonstrate the total failure of public schools.
Public school employees may have the best intentions. So what? What matters is results. For all practical purposes, public schools, thus creating inequality only for our children, giving them a third grade education, especially children from the city center. Our government-controlled public schools condemn millions of children to a life of failure, while school officials mouth pious goals in creating educational “opportunity” for all children. Could our children to be worse if public schools were demolished, and low cost, school organizations, free market or guardians teach our children?
In order to ensure “equal education” for all children, create a robust system of public schools to enforce this guarantee. Once a government monopoly takes over the education of their children a quality education for their children is at the door. The demand for education “justice” and condemn millions of children to a miserable future.
However, if we allow children’s natural love for learning to flourish and flower of the free-market education, including poor children, generations of American immigrants have proven to be middle class or even rich. Junk public schools and leave school choice and competition prevails, and most poor children will finally receive a quality education and rise to their full potential.
