Former Florida governor and failed Republican presidential candidate, Jeb Bush, was recently interviewed for Education Week by Frederick “Rick” Hess, a resident scholar and director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

Here is how Hess introduced Bush:

Gov. Jeb Bush has been a leader on efforts to improve schooling for more than two decades. He has mentored a generation of governors, carried the banner for reforms including school choice and accountaility, and launched ExcelinEd, a hugely influential voice in the world of K-12 schooling. During his tenure in office and in the many years since, Gov. Bush has wrestled with the practical challenges of how elected leaders can help make schools work for kids. I reached out to see how he is thinking about coronavirus and education.

I have read the interview so you don’t have to. Education in a Free So... Laurence M. Vance Buy New $5.87 (as of 05:16 EDT - Details)

I want to focus on the fourth question that Hess asked Bush and Bush’s response:

Rick: As a former governor, what else do you think Washington and the Department of Education should be doing right now?

Bush: We are a bottom-up country, and that’s one of our greatest and most enduring strengths. We’re 50 unique and individual states, growing and thriving in different ways. The states are “incubators of democracy,” because that’s where great ideas are developed and tried—and where citizens have a strong voice in shaping their future.

To be candid, Washington’s role is to support innovation. Let the states and communities lead and determine what is best for their families. Governors and state legislatures can, and often do, act quickly to solve problems. I encourage them to jump in with bold ideas that can get their education systems moving forward, even better than before.

Wrong, Jeb, so wrong. Washington’s role is not to support innovation. Washington’s role is to do absolutely nothing. No Pell Grants, no student loans, no school breakfast and lunch programs, no Head Start funding, no educational vouchers, no research grants to colleges, no Higher Education Act, no Elementary and Secondary Education Act, no bilingual-education mandates, no math and science initiatives, no Title IX mandates, no school accreditation, no anti-discrimination policies, no standardized-testing requirements, no Common Core standards, no Race to the Top funds, no No No Child Left Behind Act, no desegregation orders, no special-education mandates, no oversight, no Department of Education, and not one dime of the taxpayers’ money spent on education.

Every state has provisions in its constitution for the operation of K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. The federal government has been given no such authority by its Constitution. If there are to be any public schools; that is, government schools, they should be limited to state-government schools, fully supported and supervised by state governments.

Jeb Bush should have recommended my two new books on education.

Education in a Free Society is a collection of essays written over the past ten years for the Future of Freedom Foundation and LewRockwell.com. Throughout these essays, there are ten things relating to education that resonate:

The problem with public schools is that they are government schools.
Public education is socialistic.
Charter schools are still public schools.
Education is a service just like car repair and hair styling.
All schools should be privately operated and privately funded.
It is the responsibility of parents to education their children.
The Constitution nowhere authorizes the federal government to have anything to do with education or even mentions education.
It is an illegitimate purpose of government to educate anyone or pay for anyone’s education.
Republicans are just as responsible as Democrats for the mess that is public education.
No government at any level should have any control whatsoever over any school or the education of any child.
School Choice for Whom? Laurence M. Vance Buy New $5.86 (as of 05:16 EDT - Details)

School Choice for Whom? is a collection of essays written over the past 15 years for the Future of Freedom Foundation and LewRockwell.com. Throughout these essays, there are seven things relating to educational vouchers and school choice that resonate:

If it is not the business of government to fund public schools, then it is certainly not the business of government to fund private schools.
Education is a service just like car repair or hair styling.
Giving some Americans the choice of where to spend other American’s money to educate their children is wealth redistribution.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
Vouchers are not an intermediate step toward a free market in education.
Conservatives and libertarians who oppose government housing vouchers (Section 8) and food vouchers (food stamps) are terribly inconsistent when they support government education vouchers.
In a free society, all education vouchers for “school choice” would be privately funded.

Republicans used to talk about abolishing the federal Department of Education. Now they just want to reform it. Jeb Bush is clueless.

"""Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to enact a compulsory education law in 1852, having already passed a similar law in 1647 when it was still a British colony."""

There was a desire to CONTROL that brought COMPULSORY education. Education was mereely the vehicle used to force parents to SUBMIT to government.

But I work with a couple of fat chicks who were home schooled. They are both dumb as two dollar dogs.

I.Q. really has nothing to do with parentage. I work with a couple of guys whose mothers were drunks. Both are a few cards short of a full deck. One in particular has the mentality of a six year old. The other is not much better off, and his mother is still a drunk. :-/

Massachusetts enacted the compulsory education laws in order to assimilate the Irish Catholics. Initially they were required to attend public schools and prohibited from parochial.

Compulsory...threat of law...was intent to force submission. Teach very young to obey.

Yes, they've become .gov indoctrination centers.
