The state could care less about the quality of education. The main thrust is to have children “in a place daily where they would be observed by people who had a duty to ensure their ongoing safety” and to receive proper indoctrination “in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare."
In California, the state has effectively taken over the rights of parents to “protect” and “educate” their children. Children are the property of the state as soon as the mother gives birth. The state assumes responsibility for their protection, care, and guidance. If parents do not comply with the state’s mandate, they no longer have the privilege of housing their own children, and are discarded as unfit caretakers of the state’s property.
