An open letter to the courts

An important reason that childhood education is now a monopoly of government is that Protestantism in the nation’s earlier years had a huge advantage over Catholicism in local school district taxing units (legislative bodies). Public school funding (taxing) promoted the Protestant faith over the Catholic faith.
Now, both faiths have acquiesced to heathen indoctrination by the public school system, and perhaps three quarters of the nation’s children are being systematically brainwashed of their faiths.

The courts must honestly re-address this issue of religious persecution via taxation. Taxation requires legislation. But the First Amendment’s “Congress shall pass no law. . . .” clause that interferes with the free exercise of religion, clearly rules out public financing because such taxation seizes parental resources that would support other schools.

The Nobel Prize-winning economist, Milton Friedman, insisted that the only justifiable “school tax” is one which purchases a voucher for every child.  Then, that child can use the voucher at any accredited school of choice.  All schools thereby become competitive, and persons are more able to escape religious persecution.

Where is the intellectual honesty in the legislative and judicial branches? CYA among government entities is pervasive and most corrupting. It is leading the way to the nation’s complete moral breakdown. Has the Constitution become a barrier to “progress?” Or should the word “progress” (and all its derivatives) be tabooed for lack of meaning?

  1. Interesting take, that school taxes represent a violation of church and state by forcing you to pay for a non-religious education. I personally have no problem with secular education, I take exception with the means of taxation, which are violence. Additionally, most people will choose public education because they have already paid for it; there is a human desire to get as much as you can for your money, even after it has been taken by force. I see it a lot in special education services, which parents are willing to sue over to receive in an attempt to maximize their benefits for what they have paid. What Milton Friedman also said was that it pays to spend up to the value of a government service in order to acquire a government service, which amounts to an economic loss (you are paying twice).

    Friedman also shied away from compulsory education in the last decades of his life, believing it to be a violation of freedom via the use of force, and ultimately having little or no benefits as a trade-off.
