Except for the inherently fraudulent charter schools, of course, but those don’t count for a reason mentioned in the beginning of this overlong sentence.
Charter schools are a trojan horse to let the private sector bleed the last few drops of blood out of our sabotaged, decrepit, starved public K-12 system.
Segregation is bad. Rich kids, middle class kids, and poor kids in an area should have to go to the same public schools in the areas they live in, under force of law. The quality would improve so fast your head would spin. The owners don’t want education to improve for anyone but their kids though. Peasants capable of critical thought are explicitly against their interests.
Instead the rich kids are segregated to private schools to learn not to empathize with their future livestock.
The middle class kids and a handful of tokens are segregated to charter schools, likely to be indoctrinated with “conservative (racist, classist, and sociopathic) principles” at places like challenger schools.
And the poor kids and kids with busy laboring parents are segregated to the ruins of our public K-12 we starved to death. And surprise surprise most of the non-white kids go here. Everything old is new again.
Yes, and politicians are trying desperately to change that. Several Republicans on the debate stage said they’d get rid of the department of education. The whole thing. Zero public schools, Though you bet your ass they still want subsidies to charter schools…
Only the ones their friend(s) own, though. Gotta steal from the poor to give to the rich somehow, after all. And - added bonus - no more worrying about children being taught pesky things like the blacks are people too, that being gay isn’t an affront to God, or the downright silliness of anthropogenic climate change.
Surely, if we just give the police 80% of our cities budget instead of 70%, they’ll stop murdering innocent people and harassing minorities!
Many cities are literally being held hostage by their police force, who threaten to not only not do their jobs if held responsible for their actions or if their budget is lowered, in some instances police themselves will vow to become criminals if they are held to account.
The police system is literally strong men blackmailing entire communities into funding their own oppression.
Maybe you should throw more money at the problem. This eventually will help. Right?
Too bad we’ve never tried that with K-12 in living memory.
I have a feeling the results would be very different than giving money to
the capital defense force“law enforcement.”Except for the inherently fraudulent charter schools, of course, but those don’t count for a reason mentioned in the beginning of this overlong sentence.

How is this a society again?
That’s easy. It’s a society, just in collapse.
Collapses don’t occur overnight, they happen slowly and painfully through methods you’ve described above.
Wait charter schools get money thrown at them? Mine had a lot less funding than public schools
