Late notice -- (I got it today) -- a debate at Santa Clara between David Friedman and Marshall Fritz on school vouchers
~J
=========================
Friends of Education and liberty. Please join me for a debate this
wednesday at Santa Clara. It should satisfy both advocates of
vouchers and those who think vouchers would do more harm than good:
issues that split libertarians, homeschoolers and school owners.

School Vouchers:
A Debate between Two Proponents of Separation of School and State
Wednesday, February 26, 2003
7:30 - 9:00 P. M.
Brass Rail, Benson Memorial Center, Basement
Santa Clara University
Marshall Fritz and David Friedman would like to see the government
withdraw entirely from both the production and the financing of
schooling. They disagree over whether school vouchers would be a
step in the right direction. Fritz believes that vouchers would open
the door to extensive government regulation of private schooling. He
also believes that vouchers would derail the long-term movement for
separation of school and state. Friedman believes that vouchers
would improve schooling substantially and are compatible with an long-
run path toward full separation.
Marshall Fritz is President of the Alliance for the Separation of
School & State, a tax-exempt educational organization founded by
Fritz in 1994 and based in Fresno, California. He is the lead author
of the "Proclamation for the Separation of School and State.
<../Proclamation/>" Prior to founding the Alliance, Fritz was
president of the Pioneer Christian Academy. His school received
endorsements from a wide range of educators, including author William
Glasser, Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman, and New York State Teacher
of the Year John Taylor Gatto. Marshall has published articles in
the Wall Street Journal and other periodicals.
David Friedman is professor of law and of economics at Santa Clara
University. He is the author of numerous books including The
Machinery of Freedom: A Guide to Radical Capitalism, Hidden Order:
The Economics of Everyday Life, and Law's Order: What Economics Has
to Do with Law and Why It Matters. An article by Friedman against
government schooling is available online at
