Don't parallel institutions still come under the purview of the government? I admire those who opt out, but the option is not available to all. I like the effect these parallel institutions create, as they serve to delegitimize the status quo. I would like to see one more run at smashing (or at least dismantling brick by brick) existing institutions before we follow Paul Weyrich's advice to drop out of society. The government will still wield an iron fist over those who don't have the luxury of creating their own institutions. And who knows, in the future laws may be created to short circuit home schooling (they're already trying that) and other independence movements.
