Columns: Government should restrain damaging urge to 'educate' voters

"Most prominent leaders of Florida's educational bureaucracy agree about Amendment 9, which was placed on the ballot by a citizen petition.
The state Board of Education opposes it.
The state's university presidents have spoken out against it as a formal group.
The Legislature tried to fight it by printing an inflated "price tag" on the ballot.
And yet to all of these distinguished, smart, well-meaning people, I still insist:
This is an abuse of government power.
It is not the job of the government to "educate" the voters.
It is none of the government's business which side will win an election.
None. Of. The. Government's. Business."
