Archive for the ‘education’ tag
It is a good day to begin.
Thanks for visiting my page. I’ll use it to explore the legal and educational foundations and the ensuing consequences of the compulsory attendance statutes. I hope to establish a basic premise.
It is none of the government’s business what anyone thinks or reads.
Our First Amendment Freedom of Speech depends upon an individual’s freedom to think as he pleases and to speak and he thinks. At least Justice Brandeis thought so.
We’ve had education by the church and education by the state but they both had the same aim; to train the way we think and what we learn so they can control our very thoughts.
My own experience in elementary school convinced me that most of the time we are at school is time wasted. That is a lesson in itself.
The state filed criminal charges against me because I did not compel one of my children to attend school. (I didn’t compel any of them to attend school but the criminal charges concerned only one.) The state failed to prove that they followed established procedure and I was found not guilty. Then I went to law school.
Now I’d like to use this space and your feedback to organize my argument against the compulsory attendance laws.
