We pay property taxes to fund public schools to keep kids off the street and prevent them from destroying property for a good portion of the day.
Indoctrination.
1. Public education is a rationalization for imposing taxes (to some, taking people’s money away is an end in itself).
2. The regressive, illiberal left wants ideological control over the field of education, and other people’s lives more broadly. It is absolutely unacceptable to them that other people would have the freedom to educate their own children in a manner with which the left disagrees.
3. “Free stuff.” There a lot of voters who are simply stupid, and vote for it because they think it benefits them, or reciprocally, that they have a moral obligation to sacrifice for others.

It saddens me that you would spend so much time typing out this garbage. Seek a new hobby.
Not one poster to this date even noticed that the grammar for my thread is bad!

1) No, taxes don't fully fund public services. Most of it is borrowed. Tax is partially to lower spending ability and stop runaway inflation. Inflation is particular bad for the rich as it erodes savings and asset value. Although they dislike paying it personally, overall it benefits their class.
2) You have private schools and the freedom to send your children there if you wish. Very strange to consider your pockets being emptied as freedom though.
3) I think most people realize education benefits them, of course they're going to vote for it! Democracy!

Great answers.
To train a compliant and competent workforce.
To indoctrinate children into compliance by teaching them to love college and professional sports teams.

We all noticed.
But since most basement LR posters have not seen a school for the last decade, we didn't want to point that out.
Public schooling in the US was implemented in the early stages of the industrial revolution to teach the children of agricultural communities how to read and write and do basic math so they would be able to work in factories. There was a massive shift from agricultural labor to factory labor when farms mechanized in the early part of the industrial revolution. That sent millions of farmers and their children to the cities for work in factories.

The first public schools in the US were in Massachusetts to make the general population literate enough to read the Bible and not succumb to Satan. With the coming of industrialization it became important to teach people to re-train an agricultural work force that could sort of work on its own schedule to respond to their employers' schedules.

Your grammar is fine. Your word order is wrong.
PS
You did not need to capitalize your last two words but that's not really grammatical mistake.
The huge push for Public Secondary School Education in the West occurred after 1910 when Japan achieved 100% Functional Literacy for it's entire population. Japan is still the only country in the World to have certified this measure.
The US still suffers from structural racial apartheid in Public Education. Local Property Tax Districts are used as Jim Crow Laws to deny Public Education to White Hispanics and Blacks.
Canada, Europe and Asia have central government funded Public Education.
Hope this helps.
Day care...sadly. That’s why we are forcing teachers back into the classroom. That and the digital divide.

Ha! You may be right. I have heard this brought up numerous times by advocates for public education. No one can really say with a straight face that children are getting an excellent education in our nation’s public schools. But they can claim that our “schools” are actually holding cells for the young, to stave off the next wave of violence.
The Ku Klux Klan designed the funding system for US Public schools to limit education for Blacks and Latinos.
No other modern country in the world lets White Racism limit school resources the way the US does.
