It would also mean yet more destruction of civil society as public schools swallow up the last remnants. The private schools (who have to answer to the state too, which hardly makes them independent) will also cut scholarships to their poorer kids. This can only mean a boon in the minds of those who are egalitarian statists, whose ideology feeds a class system that necessarily means only the well-off may afford private ed. Taxation compels the less fortunate into government schools. Who can afford the penalty of property tax and still have income left-over for alternative schooling?

Cut with the astrological nonsense- it makes you look stupid and does not help peddle the books you call “must reads”.
