12. Nothing for the poor, and private schools for the rich.
What could be better than a huge mass of ignorant, illiterate poor people to support the lifestyles of the wealthy? Who needs to read in order to clean a pool or mow a five acre lawn? In fact, knowing how to read would get in the way -- then they could find out how oppressed they are.

The people who want the end of public schools *honestly* believe if a kid is in a family who can't educate him themselves or pay for a private school, tough shit for him.
