According to this Cato-at-Liberty post some policitans are arguing for more cental planning in education. To which he responds with:

America will start leading on the international education stage when it starts leveraging its strengths. We are an entrepreneurial nation that values individual liberty and recognizes the virtues of voluntary cooperation, competition between providers, specialization, and the division of labor. Instead of standardizing our schools and our kids, we should be energizing our education system with the same market freedoms and incentives that have made us a world economic power.

There is a notion that the education of our children is to sacred to be left up to free markets. Our children are much to important to let there education be managed by a bunch of capitalist. But when you look at how capitalism has enhanced practically every facet of a America it seem almost criminal to not let that same power be applied to education.

One might argue that keeping the markets from education is to the betterment of children, but if you ask me it’s only to their detriment.
