185. Interesting argument
"Don't you think that every child, even those of poor parents, should have the same educational advantages? The right thing to do is to make your own public school system the best by your involvement."

Using your logic, I should take all the food that my children eat and give it to community kitchens, then stand in line at the soup kitchen to feed them every night, while arguing for better soup.

My tax dollars are contributing to the funding of the public school system, and there are many administrators that have been hired to create a decent public school system. I have contributed to that system and can use it if I choose. However, it is MY choice whether I will send my child to that public school or not. It is also MY choice to use our city's pools, parks, etc.

It is your choice to use the public school system. You have no right to judge those who do not.
