If only more people were exposed to these compelling arguments. I first heard this lecture when I was a college student, around 2005. (Come on FEE, repost this classic audio :).) At that time I'd hardly heard anyone even question government education. It seemed to be like the law of gravity - just there - and like Harry I had to unlearn that assumption. Fortunately, thinkers like Harry went to great lengths to share the problems with government education, and I hope people continue to hear his message. Keep up the great work, FEE!
