Why don't we unsubsidize K-12?

I was just massively thumbed-downed for saying that I agree with making college tuition subsidized by the government. People going bat sh*t crazy about taxes, yapping this and that.

Since high school degrees aren't what they use to be unless you want to work at Mcdonalds, and people don't even want that subsidized, then why not de-tax K-12 as well? Unless you think an army of Mcdonald workers is gonna be the people who can run this economy.

    Public schools spend more than twice as much per student than private schools, and their performance is consistently worse across the board. So, yes - why shouldn't we privatize education and simply offer voucher programs and assistance for low-income families?

  • Because republican conservatives are against funding education because it is "ungodly" and they would rather have fundings go towards war.
