Public schools are funded by property taxes. All homeowners contribute the same percentage amount based off of a percentage of their home’s assessed value. Families with 10 kids who use public schools contribute the same amount as his neighbor, a trans person, with no kids. Even if you hate kids, if you’re a homeowner your tax money funds public schools. And if you’re fortunate enough to be able to afford private school, you still pay those property taxes for public school, while also paying private school tuition.
