I'm not discussing what I'm OK with or what "should" be done. I'm pointing out that claiming education is equal as doled out by the government is not valid. As with most of what the government gets involved in, it is inefficient, ineffective and smothers the rights of the citizenry. Why would marriage be any different?

If you want my opinion on education I'll offer it, but it seems out of scope for the discussion at present.
