Idealogically, I don't think education should have anything to do with the federal government, which is what Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is running for.
the federal government currently subsidizes the operation of both state and private universities, do you oppose this? and fundamentally, what difference does it make. low state taxes/higher federal taxes and the feds kick money to public universities or higher state taxes/lower federal taxes and the states wholly self-fund public universities. potayto/potahto.
Yes I do oppose that. Higher state taxes, lower federal taxes means states have more freedom to decide differently what to do with the money for the people who live there. Less homogenization between states, more experimentation.
I don't see a reason why it would be inherently bad, even if the current setup is bad.
you don't see an inherent moral problem with a private entity exercising the power of life and liberty?
The court system exercises the power of life and liberty, the private entity houses them. As long as they are enforcing the government mandate in accordance with its terms, I don't see an inherent problem. I'm out of my depth with any details on private prisons though.
