No. Education should be made available for anyone who wants it. Making everyone go when their very presence is disruptive to those who want to go is unfair to them.


Should they retain the right to vote?

I think yes, assuming the democratic process remains, education is an integral aspect of it so education for the electorate must be compulsory.

refusing education should be considered a crime against the state as it's essentially refusing to acquire the freely available tools to become a productive member of society

this idea that we should accommodate those that refuse to be educated is absurd


well that's just the thing, we shouldn't accommodate them either. Don't start arguing that we "need the state cuz of the state cuz of the state" now.

My thought is that if it is to remain compulsory, education at the very least needs to be 100% privatized. No state education. And even then, it should only be compulsory for like the first years

In my society, democracy has been rejected as a fair and just method of governance, so there is no problem there.

might as well privatize the entire state. but then again, each state already is: is a company of share holders, with money being the stock

Short of treason, I do not accept the notion of crimes against the state.

World needs ditch diggers too.

Yes. Democrats should be all over this, undereducated voters are all over the Donkey ticket.

Not providing a child with an education is about the worse abuse I can imagine. Almost as bad as not providing a child with health care.
