But there is no shortage of parents who have no business making those sorts of decisions about their kids

So the responsibility for decisions on the education of children should be left to elitists like yourself, huh?

It's not "elitism" to say that some parents are absolutely unqualified to make any sort of education decisions, and that society has the right and responsiblity to dictate that children must be educated to some minimum standard.
