Ideas are too important to be left in the hands of the State. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment. It would not be a story if this school were not a Government School.

Always ask: Would this story about schools be a story if the school were not a Government School? The World of Ideas is too important to be left in the hands of the State. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment.

Would this story even exist if schools were not Government schools? Always ask that question about any school news. You'll be surprised. The World of Ideas is too important to be trusted to the State. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment.

Would this problem exist if education were not government education? This is always the 1st question to ask whenever you hear of any problem with public education. Voucher is a step in right direction. --- The world of ideas is too important to be left in the hands of the state. That is the essence of the 1st Amendment.

Yes & No. GAO isn't definitive. It may prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. If you believe "life begins at conception", you can argue the woman hasn't really conceived until the fertilized egg is well ensconced in her womb, therefore no abortion. If you believe, as the newly passed Kansas law sitting on Gov. Brownback's desk says, "Life begins at fertilization" , then preventing implantation would be an early abortion. Plan B is not the same a RU486, (which I always thought should be pronounced "Are You For Aiding Sex". Just had to get that in there.)

So what you're suggesting is what the government does best is make things worse. --- If some guy in a USMC uniform blows a hole in my cell & says "I'm from the US government and I'm here to help", I'll take it!
