this is the conservative plan for public schools, redirect resources from teachers to cops, then the prison-like environment prompts middle class parents to instead opt for private schools, further starving the public schools of support and resources.
And encourages homeschooling.
Homeschooling is a big hidden part of the reactionary agenda because it serves dual purposes: 1) children cannot escape the direct influence of whatever their parents want them to believe, far more even than a religious private school; 2) forces women to stay home
Conservatives have long-sought to defund education. And many who’ve not wanted to pay the taxes necessary to pay for public schools —dems, too — have merrily voted along.
You left out the part where vouchers, from tax money, get used to fund religious education featuring Creationism. And SCOTUS says it's not establishing a religion, 6-3.
It's the conservative plan for all public services. Make the service so shitty that people start to call for a replacement; offer up a short-term private replacement; then sit by as that private replacement exploits the people. The UK is doing it with the NHS.
