Ban Private Schools in the Name of the Collective Good? Bans on private education have already been tried and rejected in the U.S.

Reason reports:

Earlier this week my colleague J.D. Tuccille commented on the work of two left-wing British political philosophers who believe that strict limits should be placed on the rights of parents in order to create "a more level playing field" for all children. For example, according to one of the philosophers, "private schooling cannot be justified.... It's just not the case that in order for a family to realise these intimate, loving, authoritative, affectionate, love-based relationships you need to be able to send your child to an elite private school."
