"But federal and state level control of the curriculum, and especially extra-curricular BS like Planned Parenthood and its culture of death, must be sharply curtailed. They need to be sure that a very basic and very robust system of teaching math, English reading and writing skills, and lab science (not sex education) is followed and interscholastic sports are conducted in a consistent and safe manner. That is all."

All of which is true....TODAY.....but centralized "factory" schools are, in reality, a bunch of dinosaurs who haven't noticed the approaching comet. VERY shortly, it will be possible to get the absolute best education for minimal outlay. Given modern internet communication, that outcome is as inevitable as the demise of the dinosaurs was.

Eventually, I suspect the sole role of government will be as an accrediting entity, verifying the level of educational accomplishment based solely on results of standardized testing. Though even that may not last, given the existing private standards-verifying organizations for various technologies as an example to build from.

Why have that? For example, the SAT exams are privately administered and widely accepted as valid. Many professional licensing exams are privately administered and fully accepted as valid by state licensing agencies.
