Do you believe education should be privatized so that only the privileged receive one?
No, but to pretend the choices are one or the other is ridiculous.
I mean, if you don’t want education to be privatized then you want it to be universal (federalized).
If there’s some in between, what exactly is it?

Spoiler Alert: It wasn’t very good and a lot of people couldn’t read.
States can and did run their own school system, and I’m sorry to spoil your spoil, but lots of kids churning out of the system today can’t read. The numbers are staggering.

Again, you need to do your homework.
In 1870 11.5% of whites were illiterate and a staggering 80% of blacks and other minorities were illiterate. By 1979 only .04% of whites and 1.6% of blacks and other minorities were illiterate. Generally speaking, from 1870 to 2003 the overall literacy rate went from 80% to 99%.
A federalized educational system is one of the best things to ever happen to this country, or any country.
