    I’m fine with private schools competing with public services as long as:

    1. They receive zero public funding
    2. They require the same (or higher) standards as public education
    3. Public education spending is not reduced

    Education, infrastructure, healthcare, military protection, and mails services are some of the core services taxpayers should be most happy to invest tax dollars in. These services should feel like we’re getting a great deal for our investment. If anyone wants to spend more on private sector businesses, that’s up to them. But not there’s no need to sabotage the publicly funded services.
