A letter I just sent to my state senator...

It sounds reasonable until you look at it this way:

The government forces your child to attend school.

The schools are run by the government.

The teachers there carry guns....?? No thanks.

I am loathe to send my child to public school as it is. If the teachers at my child's govt-run and mandated school are carrying guns too, that would probably drive me to homeschool them.

BTW: the answer is to eliminate compulsory attendance and to privatize all schools.

It doesn't have to mean anything as I pretty rarely disagree with something Russ Feingold has done. Most letters I get back confirm that Feingold already holds the view I do, and then he votes/legislates that way. It's pretty swell.
