RE: Steemit In Schools: How We're Empowering Kids To Free Themselves
It can exist as an option, of course, but I'm very much against making it mandatory and stealing money from people to subsidize it.

I suppose I always viewed my tax dollars as supporting a free education for all, instead of them being stolen from me. But, I do agree with your perspective on more options. Students are not one size fits all and need to have many outlets to support their heirarchy of intellectual needs.
Yeah, no doubt the state funds things that I like too... but how the money is acquired and how it's spent are two different things. Just because the mugger that stole your purse gives some of the loot to a starving orphan doesn't make his initial crime any less wrong. I wouldn't have any problem with it whatsoever if contributions were all voluntary.
