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.
