Educating the next Gen

With the overwhelmingly liberal education fostered upon our children by the Education Establishment, it occurs to me that Charter schools could be developed focusing on objectivist principles. Does anyone know of such a school?

not completely there, but the school my nieces and nephews attend in Colorado Springs is pretty darn close. Here is a link to the schools.

The HS economics teacher used to be an economic advisor to President Reagan and runs a local economics club:

The Leport Schools and Van Damme Academy in Southern California are private schools own and run by Objectivists.

I have never heard of a charter or private school with such a philosophy (you could start one and see how it goes), but you can easily set one up. It's called home schooling.

  Regrettably, I no longer have little ones.

    No, but you have enough sense to know that what you are stating is a good idea, and that puts you ahead of the game these days. Why not explore starting such a school in your area? You obviously care enough to ask the question, start one an make an impact on the next generation!
