Because you have a right to housing, you have not right to private school.
DC Human Rights Axt:
Every individual shall have an equal opportunity to participate fully in the economic, cultural and intellectual life of the District and to have an equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of life, including, but not limited to, in employment, in places of public accommodation, resort or amusement, in educational institutions, in public service, and in housing and commercial space accommodations.
That would be public school.
Really ? No wonder elites are not liked that much.
In essence you are saying is if that if you have a race, religion, political preference, gender, that the school doesn’t like, you can be excluded. That’s fine, but then schools should adjust their DEI instruction accordingly.

So far everyone agrees with the subsidies to rich schools and no one says that those subsidies should be instead allocated to public schools.
Last time I saw this kind of wealth redistribution was in a Communist authoritarian regime. It didn’t turn out very well for them.
Well, you should read a bit more about tax policy in Scandinavian countries that are very rich and financehigh quality public education. It doesn’t hurt to read more.
Indeed. “Denmark has a tradition of private schools with a substantial government subsidy.”

With one of the largest tax rates in the world …..

Maybe reading a bit more would be helpful for you ….
You seem as confused as ever. I am for raising taxes. Just not for non-profits. Glad you agree with the Scandinavians too!
I was poor and envious of the rich when I was young. But instead of coveting others’ wealth and fortunes, I worked hard and figured out how to create my own. If more people did this instead creating excuses for why they can’t and coming up with ways to redistribute wealth through taxes.
Yeah, go ahead a raise taxes to 90% and see what happens to innovations and brain drain of the most capable workers.
Sorry for saying that I do not agree with a subsidy to oligarchs. Maybe we should keep it. We have to be inclusive, even with oligarchs.

I think want a school where people get admitted off of only strict quantitative instead of qualitative measures. That’s fine. You’re free to start a school for find one that suits your preferences. To demand private schools do x,y,z kind of reminds me of the communist style school system my family purposely moved to get away from.
Holistic admissions : my wealthy and connected family get better chances of getting admitted in a private school. Very good for building community!
Point based system: the test scores of my kid are on the low side. Very bad for building community!

Ask the danish government if it is socially responsible to subsidize a school with a tuition of 60k.
I think it’s ok to subsidize private education such as charter schools. It’s Just that nothing will happen if you don’t give a subsidy to a school for oligarch families.

I agree. I am also for raising taxes…. Except my taxes.
And yes, I agree with Scandinavians too that they don’t have tax loopholes for oligarchs like in the US.
