Careful now, this is part of the thinking that people [backwardly] use to proselytize for more charter schools, homeschooling, the dissolution of the Department of Education, and a host of other stupid ideas.
They’ll see this and say, “yeah, they shouldn’t even be required to go to school! so they have to earn a wholesome Christofascist education” or some other nonsense.
Nevertheless, I agree. Food should be a right for everyone.
I’m fine with private schools competing with public services as long as:
They receive zero public funding
They require the same (or higher) standards as public education
Public education spending is not reduced
Education, infrastructure, healthcare, military protection, and mails services are some of the core services taxpayers should be most happy to invest tax dollars in. These services should feel like we’re getting a great deal for our investment. If anyone wants to spend more on private sector businesses, that’s up to them. But not there’s no need to sabotage the publicly funded services.
