I'm libertarian, and I *absolutely* want the government 
out of the schools business.  There may be a 
redistributive role for government in providing the 
money for poorer people to get an education - vouchers 
- but there is no reason for government to be in the 
education provision business, as opposed to the 
education financing business.

Exactly right.  That was my earliest informal lesson in 
libertarian thinking.  Both left and right want a big, 
intrusive, powerful state, but they want them for 
different reasons.
