I am ok with the government giving money to private schools. I personally never went to one, and my kids don’t either.
But every kid is entitled to $x per year funding. Some parents are rich enough to contribute more above that, but they still entitled to the same government funding that every other kid gets.
You can’t on one hand say ‘tax the rich’, then a minute later deny them services. That would be unfair.
The rich people’s kids are entitled to public education.
If you make education system based on class you’re going to deepen the social divide. This is already happening. People in power will advocate for private schools because that is where their kids go.
I don’t consider funding a service, but for argument’s sake let’s pretend it is. Those kids still have access if they attend a public school. Though I suppose that would mean they’d need to mix with the “poors”, how terrible for them.
No. If your school turns a profit you get nothing. No more corporate welfare
If your school mandates a religion you get nothing. God Will provide…

Sure, they are entitled to funding. At a public school.
Which services are they being denied?
In billytheid’s example, education funding.
