The law recognizes their need to be provided a period of care and education so that they will be able to have a wider range of choices as an adult.
But you can't call it 'care' and 'education' if it's forced. Children are forced to be with the government, so calling it 'education' is the wrong word. It is forced, so it is propaganda, by definition.
You wouldn't say a slave master was 'educating' his slaves. The slaves do not choose to be there, ergo you can not call it education.

No, I object to government because it violates the non aggression principle. It uses violence to solve social problems.

Are you saying I am a psychopath?
If public schools are good at helping poor people, why has the gap between rich and poor increased substantially since public schools started? And still very much on the increase.

You don't want the children of the lower and middle classes clogging up the schools and dragging down the quality of education you would like to provide the ruling class. Much better for your aims to have the children of the poor working as janitors in the school. That way they can provide some value to their betters.
This is pure verbal manipulation.
1. How can I support the ruling class, and be against government at the same time? What higher class could you have than a small group of people that can initiate violence upon anyone at any time?
2. You are saying that being poor is wrong. What is wrong with being poor? there's nothing wrong with being a janitor.
I can't deal with any more of this.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
