No, actually. The current GOP stance on compulsory schooling is, “no”. They really don’t believe every child should be educated.
I’m not even talking about kids with special needs or “just minorities”. They really don’t believe in compulsory education. It’s considered government overreach.
The ideal GOP educational system is 100% private and only those who can afford it get to go. They couldn’t care less about literacy rates.
They want the Bible taught in schools but they don’t want kids to actually read it. That would reveal what’s in it (liberal stuff everywhere!), after all.
I’ll take laptops over a Punch Card System (PCS) any day!
