The libertarian Dime – Episode 71 – On Education

This week Shane and Jonathan were joined by Dr. Joe Buchman, a long time friend of the show, to talk about education. Recently the doctor had the oppurtunity to see a movie called “Waiting for Superman” at this year’s past Sundance Film Festival.

“For a nation that proudly declared it would leave no child behind, America continues to do so at alarming rates. Despite increased spending and politicians’ promises, our buckling public-education system, once the best in the world, routinely forsakes the education of millions of children.” – from sundance.bside.com

What followed was an open and honest talk about education from the perspective of libertarians, and how the desire to see privatization of education is out of real concern for children and not selfish gains. Dr. Joe Buchman brought his usual thoughtfulness combined with his experience in the educational industry to the Dime and fostered an informative look at how we can save the future of our kids.
