      Yep. The right hates public school. They want nothing more than to end it.

      What replaces it? They have concepts of a plan.

          Oh sure, but they have no plan for what to do with the kids who religious schools won’t take, like the disabled ones.

    If we wanted to provide school supplies and solid pay for teachers, we’d have done that by now. Frankly, that’s a few billion (ffs) dollars getting earmarked to do some good. /s
