I'm talking what is rational, not that the government doesn't have a right to have its wretched, failed system. K12 schools should be universally privatized.
You use government rather broadly which I believe contributes to your unneeded confusion. Federal government doesnt have the right to interfere with education, local governments should be the ones offering public education if it is offered at all. Certainly you wouldnt complain if the town down the road from you offered its residents education funded by local taxes, donations, etc.. It has no affect on you. Logically local governments would do a better job with education because they are closer to the problem and know better than a bureaucrat in DC.
