Keeping the Classes Apart

       Saturday, January 01, 2000

It's more entrenched than racism:  keeping the classes apart.

The Kemp funding scheme somewhat improves access for lower-income families to independent schools.  But the Mr Nice Guy celebrities are urging the Senate to block this reform -- and give the extra money to the state system.

Let's reserve private schools for our own kids!  Keep the funds down, the fees up, and the plebs out.
