- karamanolev 3y agoFor me, it might be a way to give richer parents access to further away nicer schools and limit choices for poorer parents by way of economics, therefore increasing inequality. And HN considers, AFAIK, inequality bad.

But if you're a parent who wants decent schools for your kids, and your current schools are lousy, and you aren't a big enough fish to move the school board, and you can't afford private school... what else are you going to try to do other than push for school choice? (You could homeschool, I guess, but not everybody feels like they're cut out for that.)
