Good defense of the "anti-government schools," Dale.

But I wouldn't blame "government" for the fact that "public
schools" is the widely accepted term. Governments have a
long record of trying to change language, and I suppose
there have been some successes, but when you blame
"government" for everything you sound a little like the
county supervisors in Grangeville.
