You may have heard about "Critical Race Theory" [CRT], a newish version of Marxism, where race has replaced class as the dividing line between the good and the evil. You may also have heard about some school systems where the parents are upset about their children being indoctrinated in Marxism of any version.

What if, instead of electing the school board members, taxpayers in the district could select from a few different cantons, representing the spectrum of views on how schools should be operated? Those who were for and those who were against having CRT taught in the local schools would each have a voice (or voices) on the board. Whichever side could muster a majority of votes (which, in a canton forum, is composed, not of the board members, but of the number of taxpayers each canton represents), would fund the schools.

How could this be accomplished? The cantons which did not favor that element of the curriculum would reduce the amount they contribute to the annual funding by some percentage. If the school continued to teach CRT, those same cantons that are against it could further reduce their contribution to the annual funding the following year. Such strangulation of funding would eventually result in a creative way of dealing with the problem, by, say, making all the schools dependent on vouchers. Then parents who wanted their kids taught to favor Marxism would have their school fully funded by those who support CRT. So many "culture war" issues can be remedied by freedom of association, which voucher systems do very well.
