| Message | "Education should be left fully to the educators..." ...and thus fully to only those who can afford it. Bravo Captain Reacitonary. |

| Message | I don't particularly see what's wrong with that, given the assumption that the schools themselves know best what to do with their students, rather than some government lackey. I don't think education should be a charity. |

| Message | I expect the tax rate dropping from the removal of the need to prop up public schools will go some way in relieving parents and increase their ability to pay private school fees. |

| Message | This is just a little bit too extreme. |
