Compelling Them to Come

I recently ran across an article by someone somewhere (don't you love the Internet's ability to make you completely ignorant of authorship and authority?) that adds to the discuss some of you have been having with me about compulsory education. The whole notion of a democracy needing an educated populace is not really addressed, nor does the author assume any real biblical views of parental responsibility, but what he does address, the overwhelming negative effect of forcing the public system to take all students, even if they don't want to be there, is worth further discussion. You can read the article and then make comments if you so choose.
