Wouldnt that right to education be to be educated at the best schools available? Not "junk policies"?
Absolutely. That would preclude all fundamentalist Bible-thumper private schools. In fact, that would mean to preclude any private school that doesn't adhere to a (as yet non-existent) curriculum that we've decided is "the best."
