“We’re going to set up a system. We’re going to make you pay for that system. We’re going to force you to put your kids into that system unless you can ALSO afford to pay for an alternative system. But then we’re going to allow a heckler’s veto on anything in that system that anyone with the money and friends to get a case before the Supreme Court may happen to dislike. Because the thing they dislike, THAT’s the problem. No, the system is the problem. The right to direct the upbringing of one’s children entails the obligation to bear the costs of bringing up one’s children. The system itself violates parents’ rights to direct the upbringing of their children AND forces them to bear the costs of that violation, making them less able to afford the costs of whatever upbringing they might prefer.” (07/01/25)
