The Green Party has advanced a long way within the political realm. Certainly the populist position of a singular Big Brother education caters to the lowest common denominator. Certainly this is a superior green action for countries with poorly developed education outreach.
However, in Canada I would argue the position is decidedly paternal and singularly orthodox. A good green education system should behave as if every individual had pro-rated access to government's education expenditures AND the option to spend this money on education of choice which is competitively provide.
