Public education was started for a different purpose. What has happened is curriculums being centralized and controlled by the state. The idea of a local public school is no more inherently nefarious than a lending library or volunteer police department.

The modern Public "educational" system was started for the sole purpose of indoctrinating children into socialism. It wasn't started for any purpose other than that. There is no such thing as a locally controlled public school which was the entire concept of the modern public educational system. Your local school is run by the government, and that is every bit as dangerous as your chosen religion being run by government. If the founding fathers had any concept that we would be so foolish as to let government control education they would have put in a "strict separation of school and state" amendment.
