Greed. Get ready because they’re coming for free public k-12 next.

Nah. They just want to cut funding, not cut it completely. They need the dumb kids to grow up to be dumb workers and dumb voters. And to keep their own children in private schools to continue to rule over the poors.

Ah, but cutting it completely means they could potentially go back to child labour, and they've already been trying to set the ground work for it

You must live in a state where charter schools aren't part of normal political discourse. It is happening, and it is what they're striving for. They want the private schools, yes, but the mostly want unregulated for-profit religious charter schools where there is no oversight in what kids are taught (or if they're taught)
