I think that’s a mischaracterization. What the movement is about is that everyone is in agreement that education is a right and that the government is responsible for funding it. But that the government is not responsible (or even competent at) providing it. Governments are good at taxing and distributing but not at meeting the needs of individuals.
So the solution is to privatize education so parents can choose a schools that fits their child’s unique needs and suits their values. We are a massive diverse country and it’s crazy to think we have so many shared, universal values.
So, let a marketplace take the place of government schools and give everyone an equal amount of money to choose the school that they see as best fit. The model works for pre-schools and colleges really well and there’s no reason to think it won’t for the rest.
