Get rid of the “free public ndoctrination centers”. Let families decide for themselves which facilities meet their families needs for education and let them pay for it themselves. Sell off the buildings and buses to reduce public debt. Problems solved.

It’s notable, but not surprising, that the rabid atheist left will rail against a tax-exempt church sitting on 5 acres - usually a busy corner where the property value isn’t that high due to traffic and noise - but they will say nothing about these sprawling elementary, middle and especially high school campuses that contribute nothing. In fact, they consume a great deal. A high school can occupy 50 or more acres when all the parking, auxiliary buildings, playing fields, etc. are included.
The schools suck up most property taxes and THEN have the brass neck to issue bonds ie take on debt because huge sums from taxes aren’t enough.
Gun controllers like to talk about ‘common sense.’ What is sensical about compulsory attendance for psychos, criminals and the like? What is sensical about forcing smart kids into homerooms, lunchrooms, and common areas with idiots and felons? What is sensical about curriculum chosen for its political stance rather than its factual content?
Public schools are unfit for purpose. Worse than that, they are anachronisms. Leftists are fond of saying that we are no longer a homogeneous society. Let’s stipulate they’re correct for a moment. Why, then, are most of America’s children forced to attend these open-air prisons without regard to the suitability between school and child and vice versa? Why are schools set up geographically rather than by academic level?
