About this videoJacob G. Hornberger talks about central-planned education and its failure. He explains the reason for this problem is the fact that a handful of people are the ones that are planning the education for millions of citizens. He cites Friedrich A. Hayek on how individuals have knowledge of their situations while the central planner doesn’t. He also focuses on the injustice that people who don’t have children go through due to the fact that they are obligated to pay for others’ education. Hornberger compares the education in the United States to Cuba’s socialist educational method and concludes that both have more similarities than differences. According to him, there are some decisions that have immunity from majority rule and education is one of them. Parents have the right to choose what is best for their children without being forced to hand them over to a government educational institution. |
