In SEPARATING SCHOOL & STATE, Sheldon Richman effectively & comprehensively analyzes the failures of public schooling in America & explains the ideas & ideology behind the case for compulsory education. More important, he offers a vision of what a fully privatized educational system might look like - & explains how it would solve most of the educational problems that Americans face today. "Mr. Richman's premise will be a troubling one for many, that state schooling doesn't work because it can't work. He is certainly right. This book makes it clear that even with the best of intentions, force & compulsion set processes in motion which mutilate family life, replace education with indoctrination, & bring the myth of Procrustes to life."--John Taylor Gatto, 1991 New York State Teacher of the Year. "If we needed more proof that government schools are in shambles & that privatization & parental choice are the solutions, this book makes a powerful contribution. It offers both insight & compassionate solutions."--Walter E. Williams, Chairman, Economics department, George Mason University. "I think that Mr. Richman is right to fear that state education undermines personal responsibility. I recommend SEPARATING SCHOOL & STATE."--Michael Prowse, Financial Times.

The fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments in this Union repose excludes any general power of the State to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. The child is not the mere creature of the State ... --U. S. Supreme Court Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 1925.
It is only from a special point of view that "education" is a failure. As to its own purposes, it is an unqualified success. One of its purposes is to serve as a massive tax-supported jobs program for legions of not especially able or talented people. As social programs go, it's a good one. The pay isn't high, but the risk is low, the standards are lenient, entry is easy, and job security is still pretty good ... In fact, the system is perfect, except for one little detail. We must find a way to get the children out of it. --Richard Mitchell The Leaning Tower of Babel
