Emphatically no! The state should not be responsible for getting children to school. If they cannot walk or ride a bicycle, then they should use public transit systems. No more free rides supported by people without children or for those of us who have grandchildren who have already finished schooling, including those of us (and our children and our children's children) who paid tuition and walked, rode bikes or used public transit when we went to parochial schools while still supporting the state-run institutions and conveyances to and from.
