Education is always paid, and the beliefs embedded in the curriculum taught are always naturally aligned with the interests of the payer.

There is no "free" education.

If that's taking a shot at public education, well, it just depends on whether you think the government's interests are always aligned with the interests of pupils

But really that’s just pedantic hair-splitting, everyone knows that there’s no such thing as a free anything.

The whole point of “free” education is that it’s free at time of use. That’s the whole benefit of it.

Free education is a great equalizer in society, otherwise it’s another exclusionary thing for the wealthy to hoarde.
