1918, this nation (as a whole) did not have forced public education. Just read American authors from the 1600’s or

President
Obama said “… I believe in parents being able to provide children with
religious instruction without interference from the state.” If so, he should support school choice
(vouchers, home schooling etc.).
Horace Mann,
the prime mover behind public education, died in the same year Darwin’s
masterpiece was published รจ 1859! Mann
based his ideas on the Prussian model and was enthusiastically supported by the
Unitarians. This Statist educator
rejected miracles and adopted Natural Theology while denying Biblical
Christianity. [1] There is even evidence
of demonic influence. [2] Samuel
Blumenfeld has written a groundbreaking book on this topic, Is Public Education Necessary?
