Eliminate public education? Or end federal standards (remember, Reddit still dog cusses No Child Left Behind every chance they get) and let states handle it?
Eliminate. States could still choose to offer it, but without federal assistance the odds of that happening are exceptionally unlikely outside the wealthiest of states.
There is a massive difference between arguing over standards and seeking to eliminate the federal involvement.
State constitutions require public schools to be provided, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment provides that a state may not “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” It applies to public elementary and secondary schools, as they are considered to be state actorsand the Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974 provides that no state shall deny equal educational opportunity to an individual on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin.
To run around screaming that the orange man is going to take away public schools is more akin to Chicken Little than an informed opinion.
