Does anyone here believe that is it not desirable for the state to provide free aducation for all children
All the kids should be educated. Accomplishing that via the state is a cultural construction. We do it this way because we've always done it this way and can't imagine it any other way. We have no idea whether it's best, because the question is rarely asked in detail. The fact that many kids are not being educated at all in this system is usually ignored.

It's more important that all kids should be fed. But we have left that up to the individuals. If they can't afford it we have programs. Nobody dies of hunger in the USA. Great success.

If this kid had been allowed in school, think what might not have happened...
