[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, public schools are government schools. They are also public schools. Both terms are equally accurate. So why, exactly, have certain people started calling them "government schools"?

And (as you say), it's also government water, government sewer, and government roads. Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax County Water Authority, Fairfax County Wastewater Management, Fairfax County Department of Transportation. (And I certainly hope you don't believe that there are no federal regulations or federal dollars involved in the latter three.)[/quote]

Because people don't always understand that concept.

There should not be federal dollars in anything not explicitly stated in the Constitution. Therein lies the issue[/quote]

You oppose the Common Core standards because the word "education" does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. Gotcha.

(You know another word that does not appear in the U.S. Constitution? "Gun".)[/quote]

'Armed' does.

Find me where it says the Feds will pay to educate every child in the US.

I oppose education that doesn't educate because it's implemented poorly.[/quote]
