Most public education in this country is funded by local property taxes. And each state has its own requirements, further modified in each school district.
How much duplication and how many separate approvals are involved? Why not have a national program for at least most subjects? States should only care about things like local geography and state history. But math and chemistry and so on aren't different from town to town.
But hey, funding with property taxes means that rich white people don't have to think about their tax dollars going to fund education for poor black people so that's why we still do it that way. Nothing racist about it in the slightest
