Makes me long for the days of Ronaldus Magnus, when this really was part of the Republican platform.
Hat tip to Neal Boortz, via Jack Lewis for the following bit of comedy from the BBC Comedy series, Yes, Prime Minister. The series ran from 1986 to 1988, and was reportedly, the favorite TV show of Margaret Thatcher.

Rather than abolish, I would like to see incentives provided for greater diversification and specialization in education opportunities. I would like to see a system in which parents and children are free to choose the education they wish to pursue, a system in which policies reflect sound principles of education, rather than the substitution of politically motivated policies. These and other concerns are discussed in the novel, The Twilight’s Last Gleaming On Public Education, a portion of which may be viewed online by contacting the publisher at http://www.Xlibris.com, clicking on their Bookstore link, then Searching by title. Check it out for youself. Discuss it with your friends. See if you agree with the proposed solutions.
