My Comment (after I took out the 'damn'):

ONE:  Where is the "Monopolized" part if we have private, parochial, and homeschooling available? 

TWO:  In the late 1700s, Thomas Paine was one of the earliest in favor of universal, free public education -- a radical idea at the time -- the first U.S. liberal, I guess.  Prior to that time, only those who could pay could be educated.  It was in the U.S. that education was introduced as free (universal education) during the late 1800s.  It  had spread across the country by the 1920s.  So, Universal Education has been around less than 100 years and it has been in operation the longest in the U.S.  Curse those liberals ... everyone knows, in the age of computers, we need lots of ditchdiggers, hod carriers and plow boys for the economy to thrive.
