Some more on liberty

....take a look at the work of John Taylor Gatto, a former New York state teacher of the year. He deals predominantly with educational issues....but then he doesn't, but rather traces the decline in education observed in the past century and a half in terms of the desire to control other people. In other words, large, government-run schools are an infringement on liberty of no small order.

Not only are gov't schools an infringement on our liberty, it is blantantly unconstitutional.

I'd argue that those two things are related; education is not mentioned as a legitimate power of Congress/federal government because they necessarily infringe on liberty.
