It's going to be hard to fix those problems without taxing them. I'd say the right to an education trumps the right to have a billion dollars.

its going to be hard to fix those problems if your only tool is "even more of some rich guy's money". there are structural problems, these schools have enough money to pay administrative staff into the 6 figures. theres no accountability as to the outcomes. its not a lack of funding. its a systemic problem.
