Why Liberty Matters
June 14, 2016 BY DR. MARLENE MCMILLAN
Even back in 2016, Why Liberty Mattersâ Dr. Marlene McMillian was warning us about how school vouchers and educational grants can be clever and deceitful.
She writes: âHe who pays controls. This is an immutable law of the universe. You cannot take government money without government control. Whether the civil government puts the money in your front pocket, your back pocket, direct deposit or you have to take the check to the bank, it is still government money. As soon as your âprivateâ school accepts government money, it becomes a government school. Oh yes, the âPrivate Schoolâ sign may still be out front, but it is âPrivate in name only.ââ
She asserts the future cost â. . . is incalculableâ and ponders, âWhat will it cost future generations to get out from under government dependency? The real question should be: Will they ever have the will, the courage, or be able to undo generations of conditioning to government dependency?â
Dr. McMillian challenges us to â[think] about the statement âEducation dollars should follow the child to the school of parentâs choice . . . â and understand that this means âCivil government regulation should follow the child to the school of parentâs choice.â Parents and children will never have freedom, let alone liberty, as long as they are government dependents.â
Further sounding the alarm, she writes, âIf your goal is not liberty, you get tyranny by default.â
