Did you go to Public Schools? Kentay

I sure did, in the 60's and 70's, and they turned-out a leftist in me.  Like many, I was a leftist in my younger years but I had a truly open mind and when I started paying real attention to current events and politics, the leftist point-of-view started taking-on-water.  By time time I hit 40 I was a solid constitutional conservative or classical liberal.

Since I never went to any privately run schools I have no way of knowing whether my education would have been better there.  I do remember having an "ecology week" in junior high where normal classes were suspended and we all went to classes about the environment. I don't remember any "free market" week or anything like it.

The good news is I was eventually able to escape the liberal pap of those early years and go on to live life knowing that I was the primary driver of my own life.  I didn't just sit around waiting on the government to make my life wonderful.
