The “goal” of the G.O.P. is to restrict “education” to the privileged upper classes.

The “goal” of American education is to expand schooling beyond sanitary euphemisms only for those students who can afford the cost of a “real” education – “rank & file” education should only be enough to fit students into rudimentry, low-paying employment – you don’t NEED a baccalaureate degree to sell underwear or flip burgers! A decent education teaches a person to “think” for themselves – which is inherently dangerous in an autocracy. or heaven forbid, a theocracy!
