The School Monopoly Bill
has a misleading name!
I
V 7 0 U have an interest in schools? Then be
■A sure to understand the true meaning of the
School Monopoly Bill which is called on the
ballot the Compulsory Education Bill.
The reason that this name is misleading is
because we already have compulsory educa
tion under the present existing law, and we
already have compulsory teaching in English
in a ll schools.
i
W h a t this bill really proposes is to substitute state
control over the education of your children for y o u r control.
T h e people of Michigan have already overwhelmingly
defeated this measure, because it attacked the freedom of
education.
Protect your rights which are being endangered — do
not be misled by the name of this bill. Head the proposed
bill carefully. Read the campaign literature.
Find out
the intent of the bill which is disguised by the title.
You will find that that they propose school monoply.
A hidden attack upon freedom of education.
