I said nothing about banning home schooling or private schools. Don't put words in my mouth. You want to send your kid to private school or homeschool them, go for it. Currently SOME form of education is required, and public schools aren't the only option.
I also do not reject the notion of individual rights. If anything, I'm defending them by saying they should be protected by the state.
I'm willing to compromise if it makes sense. I think you individualists are the ones that don't want compromise, because in your arrogance you think your vision of the world is the only correct one and anyone that disagrees with you is evil.
Am I supposed to be offended that you call me a "statist"? I think you need to define the term, because what I'm seeing there is "someone who thinks there's a role for the state in protecting an individual's rights". In which case, you are right.
