And when public schools create an account on Google for a child? And require active use of the account as a condition for receiving an education?

Is the school responsible for that?

The state I’m in guarantees the right to a free state education. If that right is predicated on my child having a Google account, is that my fault as a parent?

It's a massive infringement of your natural rights to be forced to create a Google account for your child. That said, I don't see why that's a reason to keep someone else's 13 year old off Twitter.
