A Modest Proposal for Preventing American Public School Students from Being a Burden and for Making Them Beneficial to Society

Jonathan Swift, I apologize.

I want to make it clear at the outset that I am not proposing that public school children be harvested as a food source to reduce class sizes and to generate revenue to hire more teachers. 

My proposal is this:

Declare all public school students to be "enemy combatants". 

Congress will be sure to act with alacrity to appropriate hundreds of millions, nay, hundreds of billions of dollars to address this threat to homeland security by finally fully funding federally mandated educational programs.

Public education. If we value it we must pay for it.
