Why We Fight
Throughout American history, public schooling has produced political disputes, animosity, and sometimes even bloodshed between diverse people. Such clashes are inevitable in government-run schooling because all Americans are required to support the public schools, but only those with the most political power control them. Political— and sometimes even physical—conflict has thus been an inescapable public schooling reality.Marie Gryphon, Emily A. Meyer
Our History of Educational Freedom (What It Should Mean for Families Today)
The rise of the American public school accompanied large waves of immigration in the 19th century. Government control of schooling was thought necessary to assimilate the children of immigrants and to avoid conflicts over state subsidization of minority religious schools. In one respect the latter tradition has largely carried the day; well over 80 percent of American schoolchildren now attend public schools.
