I know what conservatives will say. What do you suppose the left will say?

“Yes, as long as the parents agree with us.”
“It takes a village” is standard issue among the Left.
“Yeah, it takes a village idiot” is the standard Conservative response.

Yes.
Parents brought them into this world, they are responsible for training (“home learning”) and educating them; government needs to butt-out.
Yes, parents may have brought them into this world, but too many parent(s) let the guvmint be their baby-sitters and feed them! The government will naturally assume more and more control as a result.

The parents along with their children are the ONLY “stakeholders”.
I really despise the word “stakeholder”. It almost always refers to somebody or some group who want to horn in and take control over something they have no legitimate business controlling.
One of the most consequential entities in our society — here and in all the western world — is government-provided education. And with the advent of federal-level funding, it’s plain to see for anyone with eyes to see it that education at all levels has fallen under the complete control of the same Leftist, Administrative (Deep) State which now plagues every other facet of our lives.
I just watched two school board meetings in September in which one had been aware, for at east three years, of an openly communist, actively anti-fa teacher (one of at least three at the same high school) who made no bones of indoctrinating their students. The second board knew that books sitting on their school’s library shelves contained pornography graphically depicting sexual interactions between adults and children, and story lines encouraging and “normalizing” sexual relationships between adults and children. I haven’t looked, but I bet any kid in this country (and any garden-variety perv) can download the Kindle versions from Amazon.
The only way to kill this beast is to stop feeding it our money. Look, our kids are lucky to spend 6 months a year actually engaged in “school”. If you subtract all the wasteful, irrelevant, and damaging time to which they are subjected in that 6 months, it probably leaves less than 4 months they are actually engaged in anything that personally helps them in their individual lives.
