They can be some of the most destructive institutions in American life, but Democrats want to maintain the status quo.
@jimgeraghty Democrats always get enraged when Republicans threaten to emancipate their slaves.

The interesting thing is that this is a lot like busing only that the parents decide where to send their kids to school and the motivation is getting their kids a good education rather than state controlled social engineering.
What happened with public schools is what happens with any government protected monopoly.
As much as I hate the modern school system there are little alternatives if you want to have a highly educated workforce. Unless you want to become like one of those Gulf States where all the expert manpower is imported.
A requirement that kids go to school doesn’t have to mean they go to a school run by the government.
The real dilemma is how schools are funded now or under any future plans.
…Free their slaves is a really good line.
