Yes, of course they do! Why wouldn't they?
Just by attending school, children learn every day that government can and will take money from their neighbor to pay for a service that their parents want for **free**! This is a **daily** object lesson in, and direct experience with, socialism! And...Their teachers continually teach them that it is their “right” to have a taxpayer paid education, and teach them the lie that government education is neutral.
The last states enacted government school laws in the early 1900s. My mother is 96. There were still states in this nation who did **not** have state wide compulsory schools at the time my parents were born. So,...This idea of government schools really isn't that old. However, there are very few people alive today who can remember a time without government schools.
Even staunch conservatives are utterly incapable of imagining a world without government schools, believe government schools existed since the day Columbus discovered America, believe government schools can be reformed, and simply do not understand that **all** government schools promote a non-neutral religious worldview of some kind.
But...To get back to the theme of the thread:
The atheistic liberal/Marxists are the strongest defenders of government schools ( and this includes the atheistic materialistic evolutionists). Of course they do! The government schools are using other people's money to indoctrinate our nation's children in their their annointed religious worldview.
I agree, but the counter argument is that without 'free' education only the rich will get a good education and society would be the poorer for that.

Speaking for myself (I am an atheist) I am a libertarian and do not support public education, neither do my libertarian brethren. Generalizations are hard sometimes.
