People in most states would rather spend tax money by building prisons than having a tax increase for your kids in school.

Of course. The government has no legal role in educating children

Also, and perhaps even more importantly, public education spends far more per student on average than private schools do and gets far lower achievement (results). Strip off some of the garbage (diveristy, tolerance, gay propaganda etc) and start teaching the three R's and then maybe you can make your case

I'd vote to totally defund the public schools in a heartbeat

Absolutly. But in private school education they have the option to kick a kid out if he or she is a disruption to others. If you compare the top kids in private school to the top kids in public schools, they are the same. If private schools were required to take Special needs kids, then the results would be the same.

We have to get back to just educating your kids, not being replacement parents. Get all the other junk out and return to the 3 R's is the answer.
