Pretty sure they want to fix the schools, not get rid of them. It's kind of like people want to reform the police, not get rid of... oh, wait, BLM just wants police gone now >_>

America's public schools are terrible, but it's broadly true of public education across the world. The US is supposedly a bit worse than other nations, but we also have massive teachers unions suppressing innovation and subverting education whenever it benefits them financially or makes their jobs a little easier. It's an amazing system if you're a teacher, a kinda lousy one for students.

Then you have sub-issues like America subsidizing the rest of the world's textbooks, since we pay a lot more (and iirc it's even worse at the college level, although people are more likely to notice that because they're the ones paying for it)
