“The school choice argument is that when parents can decide what is best for their own kids, and don’t have to worry about parents with differing views forcing those views upon them, then everyone can adopt a live and let live approach to each other. But if the school district has to pick a single curriculum, or a single standard for which books go in the library (and it must articulate some standard, after all), and every parent living in that district is compelled to send their kids to the state run schools, then disagreements become zero sum. If I get my way, you don’t get yours. If you get your way, then I don’t get mine. Thus, fights. Now, you might disagree with school choice for any number of reasons. But this argument in its favor, even if you find it ultimately unpersuasive, isn’t unprincipled.” (07/08/25)
