I didn't say you think that, you said you thought they were self-contradictory viewpoints, I can see how someone might want to not allow school choice, but also think school is unimportant.

School choice isn't more expensive than compulsory district based schooling though. Nationwide charter schools and similar average $6,585 per pupil spending compared to $10,771 per pupil at conventional district public schools.

Ok, I didn't know that. It seems to me like it would be more expensive because, but sometimes what seems intuitive is wrong.
