I have noticed that some of my students are swinging to the left, so I have been reading a little bit of Free market, laissez fair, libertarian material to challenge their idealism.
However it got me thinking could free markets protect Academic Freedom?
Lets look at the public school. Government funding means government oversite. Government oversite means politics. Government monopoly leads to textbook committees. And next what you can and can not teach committees?
I do not buy this argument but should I?
Would letting markets dictate what is to be taught lead to an overly commercialized educational system?
I am just thinking outloud!
