There is a gigantic market out there ready to be served and the existing system is not working. More than that, the existing system has fallen apart, with missing students, a massive teacher shortage, and ferocious public anger that will overthrow most school boards that were in power during the pandemic. There are tremendous opportunities here for churches, private investors, and creative communities. The kids will be educated in a way that fits with their parents’ values. Period. How we get from here to there is unclear and it will certainly be messy but it will happen. From Forbidden to Forced As just one example, homeschooling for decades lived under a legal cloud. Only daring parents did it in the 1970s and 80s. It gradually grew less controversial in some areas. Strangely, in 2020, practically overnight, what was a sketchy and marginal practice suddenly became mandatory for nearly everyone. The schools emptied out and parents left their offices to tend to the education of their children. The whole thing was chaotic and nuts. It was the single most bizarre aspect of the pandemic policy response. The virus was never a serious threat to kids, mercifully. Sweden never shut the schools and did just fine! And when the kids finally went back, they faced a coronaphobic environment with mandatory masking, as well as a general message that they and their friends are disease vectors and that they had better comply. They were hit with rolling lockdowns in the name of track-and-trace, along with the pathological futility of somehow forever slowing the spread. The result is a mental health crisis coupled with a dramatic decline in reading and math scores. We really are talking about a lifetime trauma, far worse than a natural disaster. It was entirely man-made. It should raise fundamental doubts about the wisdom of our overlords. So why did the shutdown happen? As far as I can tell, such an egregious policy response has been baked into the modeling since 2006. The non-medically minded computer programmers who put together the whole idea of disease avoidance through “social distancing” developed an obsession with shutting schools, particularly ending the use of school buses. In their view, kids are uncontrollable disease spreaders, so the only option is to put a stop to the whole enterprise. One might have supposed that the ruling class establishment would protect the schools above all else, not shut them down for fear of a virus that poses a near-zero risk to the kids. The flu pandemics of 1958 and 1969 didn’t cause this, and not even the polio scares of the 1940s were enough to force school closures. That it all happened in 2020 is a measure of just how bonkers the world became nearly overnight. Now there’s a real crisis at work in even finding teachers, many of whom have been massively demoralized not only from the closures but also the vaccine mandates. The Washington Post[reports]( that “rural school districts in Texas are switching to four-day weeks this fall due to lack of staff. Florida is asking veterans with no teaching background to enter classrooms. Arizona is allowing college students to step in and instruct children. The teacher shortage in America has hit crisis levels—and school officials everywhere are scrambling to ensure that, as students return to classrooms, someone will be there to educate them.” This problem is coupled with the huge demographic upheaval of parents with young families fleeing the blue states for red ones in search of a better place to raise the ones they love the most. This might also be a tremendous opportunity for reform—dramatic reform. The education question shouldn’t actually be too difficult for any society that considers itself to be free. There’s no reason why the entire sector should be treated like something uniquely requiring government intervention to make possible. The issue of homeschooling should at least be fully settled by now. Anyone who wishes to do so should be free to do so. But what about myriad hybrid schools that combine family, community, religious institutions, and civic associations? Most states have far too many regulations—including teacher certifications and curriculum requirements, as well as laws on compulsory attendance—that make the formation and development of more complex solutions too difficult. Dollar to Be Replaced With Biden “Spyware”? [Click here to learn more]( On March 9, President Biden quietly signed Executive Order 14067. This Order could pave the way for Democrats holding onto power in 2024. In fact, they could control America indefinitely. A former advisor to the CIA and Pentagon believes this order could allow for legal government surveillance of all US citizens; total control over your bank accounts and purchases; and the ability to silence all dissenting voices for good.

Put the Kids to Work The hardest thing for any business right now is finding employees under the age of 30 who have any skills or work ethic. The collapse in teenage jobs has meant that the kids only know how to pretend to be compliant, cheat, and otherwise fake their way through time until the magic piece of paper arrives on the other end. They then expect to market these sheets of paper to employers and pull down six figures like magic. This whole pattern has wrecked a generation or two or three. Now we find ourselves in a terrible pickle: a lazy and uneducated workforce that offers nearly nothing to national output at all. The lockdowns sealed the deal. It revealed the horrible truth. Alternative path: revisit the issue of so-called child labor laws (imposed only in 1938) that stop hybrid school-work solutions and end up conscripting kids into an inhumane environment for 12 years. It’s pointless. Even now, kids on family farms (and also child actors!) are free to enjoy employment while also pursuing school studies. This right needs to be extended to everyone. It’s preposterous that a 13-year-old can’t legally serve a sandwich in a local shop and get paid to do so. The Enterprise of Education Beyond that, deregulation of the entire educational sector should be the main theme here. And the system of funding needs dramatic change, too. Right now, it’s tied to property taxes, which, in turn, are linked to the system of school districts, which profoundly affects housing prices and ends up making most schools “public” in name only. A just system would link payments made to services provided, just as with private schools. The system we have now is unsustainable. For all the catastrophic results, at least it has created a giant opportunity for massive reform that rejects the top-down, property-tax-funded, bureaucratically controlled model rooted in control, coercion, and compulsion, in favor of a system better suited to a free people. One of the best entrepreneurs I know took his earnings to build a 20-school franchise of private institutions that are now overflowing with applicants and there is a two-year waiting list. This sector can be both profitable and effective. The collapse of public education in the major cities offers a tremendous opportunity for those bold enough to take it.
