Educational freedom has been controversial for a very long time—by my estimate, the modern educational freedom movement started in 399 BC, when a private tutor was forced to drink hemlock by the equivalent of the local board of education for failing to acknowledge the god of the city and a rather vague charge of “corrupting the youth.”How families choose to educate their children is still the locus of enormously controversial debates.
