Or how about this. What if someone wants to do this with a Satanist school? I'm not advocating for government money being spent on Christian schools or Satanist schools but what we have today is not neutral. Government schools have a very specific bent and as is evidenced by the number of people choosing to not use this service they already have been extorted from to fund... they do not find it suitable.
I think any group of people should be able to start their own school and teach what they want... I know, radical. But just don't use force to fund and support it. Make it compete in the marketplace. Oh what a different world that would be. But you won't get many politicians advocating for this. The gov school system is a powerful tool. Instead you will see people seeking to gain control over it to wield it to mold young minds as they see fit.
I will say, dissolving the federal department of Ed (which I will believe when I see) would be a good start. There is no reason to have it other than controlling direction from DC. Funding can come through other existing agencies. The state departments of Ed are bad enough. I'd get rid of those as well. Make it all local.
