>>If you want to gut the schools, pull your kids out and either homeschool them or put them in a private school

That won’t “gut the schools”; they still get funded through taxes even if they had no students. We need to defund public education entirely; Separation of school and state.

I disagree. There is a supply AND demand component. Here is how your approach will go/ has gone:

Townsfolk: cut school taxes

Administration: ok, and we will cut football, drama club, after-school daycare since you parents chose work over family, fire teachers, and put 70 kids in classes

Townsfolk: you can't cut football.

Administration: we just did

Townsfolk: we are sorry...we will pay HIGHER taxes

Deplorables: wait...school is about education, not sports or drama.

Townsfolk: stfu and pay your taxes.

Now, if over time the school rolls dropped by 50 %, then you'd have a fiscal argument to lower taxes. Absent that, it's a doomed prop.
