Do they attack education through funding or through rhetoric? I imagine funding is where they would have more power.

I already believed that education should be outside of the purview of the government, but this even more reason to keep them separate. A government whose sole purpose is to protect individual rights (properly defined) would have no ability to gut the education of it's populace.

Also see my sibling comment, but I think it's neither, they don't attack education, they're just apathetic, incompetent and more focussed on stealing from the tax coffers.
