Would he have been willing to pay taxes by threat of force for a school that taught abolition of slavery?

> payment for government schools - limited to property owners

False. Landlords include the cost of property taxes in the rents they charge.

But I am!

No, the very idea of compulsory attendance and compulsory payment for government schools is collectivist-statist (communist).

I will repeat myself, because you don’t seem to get it.

The very idea of a compulsory attendance law and a compulsory payment for government school collectives is collectivist-statist (communist).

The government schools are staffed mostly by union hacks who are mostly communist ideologues.

The United States is not now, and perhaps never was, a homogeneous society where everybody shares the same moral, religious, and political compass.

Forcing people to pay for government school collectives that violate their principles in these matters is communistic.
