>A bunch of rich people and state congresspeople's kids being forced to go to "shitty public schools" sounds like a great way to force the issue.

This sounds suspiciously close to "hold other peoples' children hostage until they give me what I want"

And the alternative sounds suspiciously like "extract resources from poor communities to feed my rich kid new lacrosse sticks."

Again, if going to a public school is so bad as to be considered "holding a child hostage," the issue isn't the making-rich-kids-go-to-public-schools, it's the public schools.
