Yes, we need school choice desperately. The public schools have become a disaster, where 70% of the budget goes into administration and bureaucracies of support staffers and lawyers. The public schools are a complete mess in many states, esp. New York and the state where I grew up, the once great state of California. There's no possible logical argument for maintaining the public school monopoly. This is totally political and democRAT politicians are selling out our kids and out future for political benefits for themselves.
It is perfectly logical for liberals to maintain their total control over access to the minds of children.
It has worked incredibly well for them for a very long time.
In fact, it is one plank of the communist manifesto.
