    funded on a per-student basis at a state level

    A good idea, in theory, as long as the state continues to fund public education.

    In practice, you’re still stuck with the problem of state institutions riddled with corporate shills and white nationalists who want to demolish the system root and branch.

    And why charter/magnet/and any private schools that take any public money need to be utterly abolished.

    When the state comes at the public sector with a wrecking ball, private schools will be all that’s left.

    I’m genuinely worried what happens when ripping out all the public infrastructure fails to eliminate the Woke Mind Virus, and you have Chuds in my state simply shooting anyone carrying a book or wearing glasses.

      If we’re lucky, outside intervention in the ensuing civil war. If we’re unlucky, outside intervention but they’re fascists.

      I suspect we’re in the boring dystopia timeline though, where things just gradually get worse until climate refugees provide an excuse to close our borders until enough people die to change the dominant political demographic. The rich and powerful flee to somewhere not overburdened with drought and famine and never see consequences for their actions.
