State control of education is one of Karl Marx's 10 Planks of Communism.

No, thanks.

Down voting my expression of a known fact along with my personal preference is also straight out of Marx's playbook and constitutes an ad hominem attack.

1. Not everything that's communist is bad: see single payer healthcare and social security.

2. Abolishing private schools does not imply state control of education. There are plenty of public schools that are either controlled by local authorities instead of central government, or controlled by an independent foundation.

A local "authority" is another word for "the state." Why do you think rich people don't want their kids to go to public school? Could it be because they don't want to raise another member of the plebescite?
