Reading Rainbow was created via government intervention...I'm not sure that's a good example of how government should stay out of education. It seems like government can do a very good job of education sometimes!

Just because it was created for PBS I don't think it's fair to say it was created via government intervention. They get roughly a third of their funding from the state, a third from the private sector and a third through public pledges. It's not like the government has any direct impact on the show.
