I’m referring to an experience about 20 years back, though I think the principles are unchanged. I spent a year with my family in a city that had an active charter school program. We had a wide choice of good schools available for our child. It was great.
There was a variety of private schools that were now less expensive than normal. Even the public schools were better than is usually the case. One promoted their good students as much as their sports team. Another looked like an expensive prep school.
Of course, “public” schools are really government schools. This became all the more apparent to me when one (and only one) school would not consider my daughter for admittance. We were from the wrong side of the tracks, living in a less affluent neighborhood. On the south side of the street, we were out of the district for this public school. I consider myself and my family to be members of the public, but this nearby “public” school was the only school to reject us.
The arbitrary nature of decision making that’s popular under progressive purview is self-evident in the Evergreen College fiasco:

If sanity doesn’t prevail - that is what will fill the vacuum, led by poodlecologists whose most “exciting” achievement is inflicting the gay-straight alliance upon the schools they assume dominion over with their opinions and modes of thinking.
Use it or lose it.
