Excerpt from The State Last; A Study of Doctor Bouquillon's Pamphlet: Education to Whom Does It Belong?
Hence it is manifest that parents can never renounce or forfeit this right, to educate their own children, or to have them educated by teachers, or in schools, Of their own choosing - not even by free suffrage in a democratic commonwealth; for an inalienable right can no more be put at the mercy Of a popular majority than in the hands Of an absolute monarch or Of a constitutional government. The only case thinkable in which this right can be forfeited is that Of crime or inability (insanity, poverty, 81c). Strange that Dr. Bouquil lon, after stating the premises so clearly (p. 9 - 10) fails to see the conclusion, and rather goes out of his way to seek limitations to parental rights.
