In response to a reply in the New York Times about the article, “Home Schoolers Content to Take Children’s Lead,” a college professor questions to whom citizens “belong.”
Does the Citizen Belong to the State?, 3 August 2007, Market Correction blog
Even if you agree with Prof. Huerta’s dubious assumption that the state is a better judge than are parents of how, and for what purposes, children should be educated, what schooling alternative does the professor propose? Government schooling?

No, we don’t! Here’s a nice article called “The Central Fallacy of Public Schooling” from the Foundation for Economic Education: http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/article.asp?aid=4846 . I use it on my blog–”My children do not belong to the state.”
