If you only want certain people to be educated, then we should have private charter schools with tax payer dollars. Given that model, I'm opposed to my tax money funding education because it's for profit MBA nonsense that ruins everything good.
Public education is fundamental infrastructure like roads. We should fund it and have the best in the world. If our schools are lacking, we should correct it. If we leave education to the market, that's pretty brutal gambling with the future. I'd like everyone to have an opportunity.
I also consider jobs and benefits for my neighbors a good thing. It benefit me greatly and it's insane to pull up the ladder on these kids and future generations. You're disgusting.
The real regulatory capture is the jobs and benefits program for education employees.
