The founding fathers never dreamed we would allow the government to educate children. Thomas Jefferson is the only one who substantially mentioned public education, and his definition was nothing like what was established by the social engineer and interloper, Horace Mann. Jefferson said that free citizens were welcome to pool their resources to provide a school house and pay school teachers - if they so choose. He never mentioned anything like the government taking their money by coercion through taxation and then using that money to educate children on the government's terms. Nor would he ever have approved of an arrangement so subversive to liberty.
