[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It would never fly with the current Supreme Court.[/b] They’d at least make an exception for religious schools. And this entire line of argument (prohibiting private schools to get revenge over the wealthy and supposedly reduce the achievement gap) is completely mind boggling in the USA. This isn’t Finland- for good and for bad. If I have to pay for my own healthcare you’re damn right I’m gonna send my kids to whatever school I want.[/quote] There's direct precedent on point. In Pierce vs. Society of Sisters, the Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY that a law that required all Oregon children to attend public schools was unconstitutional. The court memorably said that children are not "the mere creatures of the state." While the case was from the 1920s, I like to think that there are still 9 votes on the current Supreme Court for the proposition that children, and people in general, are not merely creatures of the state.
