#1 Public employees have a right of free assembly, free association, and the right of petition. Those are Constitutional rights. They do not have an equal standing to the state. The state is sovereign. If you don't want to work for the state, take your labor elsewhere.

#3 There is an exception here with schools, but unless there is a parental choice system in place, where public tax money follows the child, only the well-to-do really have a choice.

False. Very rarely do parents have a choice to go to a charter or private school and have their tax dollars go with them.

Democrats cite that giving parents a choice will decimate public schools - as if that is a bad thing - never mentioning that $800/month which get routed to a charter school for a student which has moved there is $800 less the school has to pay to educate that student. Or that, of that $800/month only about half is spent on actually educating the student (which they are doing less and less), the other half is spent on the huge overhead, union contracts (which are completely unrelated to actual education) and non-essential staff.

#4 If the public schools are Zoom-bombing the kids instead of teaching face to face, then the only potential reason for any parent not to homeschool her or his kid is financial: the cost of tutoring.

But for many, that cost is looking bearable: 4-5 tutors @ $50/hour i.e. maybe $300 per week , 35+ weeks a year, is doable.

This is the beginning of the financial death spiral of the public schools. Those lazy idiots have only themselves and their greedy bosses to blame.
