I agree. The problem I have is why limit it to each state. After all that kind of arbitrary line is what happens at the local level with school tax districts. Why shouldn't there be one tax for education, one account in washington, and identical schools all over the US.

Also, it shouldn't stop at grade 12. There should be free education all the way through PhD.

And, if someone wants to build a private school and only allow Samoans over 350 pounds with half their heads shaved, go right ahead.
