These terms are so awkward and internationally unreliable...

in britain, 'liberal' can easily mean right of centre, as in old-Tory, opposite of old Labour. and this is now confused by the spread of the US sense of liberal=left-leaning, so the term has become unreliable. there also is a capital-L liberal party, which combines conventional tory Liberal positions on individualism - left behind by the centre-seeking Conservative Party - with some Green-ish positions. words, words, words!

moreover, in britain 'libertarian' means far-left (eg situationism around the time of May-68, left of the old communist-socialist spectrum) in extreme contrast to the far-right meaning it has in the US (ie i own several guns and if you infringe my 'freedom' by one iota i'll blast your *** and send you to hell you pinko degenerate).

Any government service should respect the division of church and state. That is why a public school should not endorse (or prohibit) any religious practice by students.


Exactly.

Although, I'd prefer if we did away with public "education" altogether.


I have to question this

i went to a public school. (if by public, you mean private...¬_¬)

it was great!
less students, and the school has more freedom to...dispose...of those who were not wanted there.

Surely ones that you pay to attend are private, not public. A government-funded school is funded with public funds - i.e taxpayer money from the general public.


you would think so, logically, but private schools are actually called public schools, as they are run by the public sector.
this has lead to great confusion, with a distinct lack of hilarity.



dont Think I've missed anyone. yes, I know about the typos.

anyway.
