Secondary education should be publicly funded. Technical education and academic education are a necessary in order to keep society functioning.

You need to be more specific about this, Marianne. My state college education was not free. Every SUNY College and Junior College charged tuition. Nominal tuition but we paid our teachers our room and our board. I went to college same years as you. Mid to late 1970s.
