As a means to destroy public education, they are happy to funnel taxpayer money away to their current voting base's religious coffers for short term gains. Eventually they will be fine with no taxpayer funded education at all, with only the wealthiest being able to afford meaningful private education. That helps create and maintain a minority ruling class of the wealthy to pass to their kids.
