Not only has government forced children into a failed education monopoly, but now a candidate for New York City Council thinks the money extracted through taxes to pay for this crummy education just isn’t enough.  Rather, good citizens should pony up even more:

City Council Candidate Aaron Fraser is calling on business owners to put their money where their mouth is. He is calling on concerned parents as well as business owners to “Adopt a School” in their respective localities so that they can get the needed resources to propel our children into the future.

“It takes a village to raise a child,” (African proverb). City Council Candidate Aaron Fraser believes that the only way for children to thrive and progress academically is if the community and parents play an active role in nurturing and developing their talents.

If Mr Fraser wants a village to raise a child, maybe he should advocate removing the government monopoly that presents people in the village from being able to “put their money where their mouth is” by running their own schools.  Trying to shame people into throwing yet more money at a failed system is not going to improve education.
