"Teaching" young children that it's "ok" to be something that they are not (gender transformation) is not education.  "Teaching" children that all white people have "privilege" is not education.  Lowering standards for achievement in the name of "equality" helps no one.  I could go on and on.

Public schools no longer "educate".  Critical life skills such as being able to save money and manage a bank account are no longer taught.  Basic civics, the history and founding of our nation is no longer taught.  Ask any high school graduate why we entered WWII and they probably couldn't give you a correct answer.  Ask them about why we entered the Civil War and again they couldn't give you the correct answer (hint... it wasn't about slavery).

If you step back and look at it, "public education" is nothing more than indoctrination.

Exactly! It was about States' rights! (to determine who should be enslaved)
Except for this one part... southerners felt entitled to keep slaves even when they moved to states where slavery was banned. (See: the Dred Scott decision).  If it was really about States' rights, why couldn't Southerners respect the right of some states to ban slavery in their own borders?
Oh and this other part... Southerners insisted that the Federal government had to set up courts in every city, Northern cities included, where "fugitive" slaves would be brought and put into slavery.  Black people who were born free were rounded up and enslaved.  In case you think it was about finding actual runaways, remember the police and judges were compensated based on how many were returned to slavery.  These were kangaroo courts in the worst sense of the term.
So yeah.
Other than those two horrific attempts to use federal power, it was *totes* about States' rights!
