Private schools should be illegal, but barring that giving them state funds is just a roundabout way to kill public education. The right wing's war on public education is truly something to behold. They have made tremendous strides and yet we hear nothing about it outside of educator's circles and the odd news article like this one.
The push for vouchers is crazy. I actually got an opportunity a few months back to speak to some state-level lawmakers about it and so many of them are totally on board for it. Some charter schools have literally been found to be money-laundering fronts. Such a fucking scam, top to bottom.
It sucks that this strategy seems to be working, and that libs seem to keep getting blindsided by it. Even though right-wingers explicitly, loudly talk about how their end goal is to eliminate public school entirely and have taxpayer-funded private christian schools as the primary educational institutes.
It's gonna be an odd future where Chinese Maoists will be posting online about how the American Peasantry needs to rise up against the ChineSSe PMC Labor Aristocracy exploiting them for tasty treats!
Historically, communist revolutions have occurred in countries with extremely low literacy rates. Once education becomes something only the bourgeoisie have access too, and is no longer being used as a means of pacifying the working class, the proletariat can "feel out" the contradictions in the system much more clearly, even if they would lack the means of articulating it all fully.
