CO governor Hickenlooper: Education is impossible without government

Government should do what people individually can’t do, or can’t do well themselves. You know, educating our young people,

Not only does Hickenpooper revise history (there was a time when the vast majority of children were educated by private bodies), but he basically says that homeschooling is invalid because parents are not good at educating children.
I fear that one day we will be like Europe where homeschooling is illegal and subject to extreme jail time.
Shame on you Hickenpooper, for your government worship. Shame on you for looking down on parents, individuals, and private markets for schooling.

Education is not an area I would point to as validation if I were attempting to extol the virtues of government. It can work but it at times fails in grand fashion.

Guess he thinks Haverford School for boys and Wesleyan University did a shitty job educating him.

Education is one of those things where you get out of it what you put in to it. If the kids (and by extension, their parents) aren't putting in the work, the education won't do much.
Very sad Hickenlooper survived the purge. He's as two-faced as they come.

With no government many kids couldn't afford school in the private sector.

I like some of the stuff Hickenlooper has done. He's a centrist on many issues ..and he brews beer
But he is so far off here.
