Reply #11: The wealthy have NEVER gone to public schools... [View All]

[Johnyawl]

...and the upper middle class have gone to 'public' schools by grouping themselves into select communities where real eastate prices kept the neighborhoods free of the working class and poor, and where they could control the school board.

The RW wants to destroy public schools, and privatize them, but hell, they want to do that to EVERYTHING. One of the core philosophies of the modern conservative is that everything should be privately owned. No public schools, no public roads, no public transportation, no city fire department, no public parks, no public beaches, etc, etc. What that translates into is, A) no taxes, and B) more money making opportunities for the wealthy (since they'll own everything).
