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.

Pure Fascism. Today. If Trump wins your country is fucked. Ayatollahs in Iran, identical Christian fascists in the USA.

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.

That’s been the MO for 40 years. Just like everything else, they break it then whine about it.
