"Government schools can't teach reading, writing, and arithmetic -- why should

we trust them to teach morality, respect, and character? If public education

does for ethics what it's done for learning, we'll end up with a generation of

immoral, disrespectful, and characterless students."

-- Steve Dasbach

Chair of the Libertarian National Committee (1993-1998) and its National Executive Director (1998-2002)
