If I had to take a guess, I'd imagine that what the Republicans want, with respect to "education," is:
1. Bust the unions. It's a whole lot easier to pay someone less salary and less benefits if you can isolate them.
2. Direct funds to religious schools. That's been a dream forever. It's called "choice" to fool us.
3. Control the content of what gets taught. "Teach the controversy."
4. Sell shit. Turn over as much as possible to companies that either operate schools or sell shit to them. See for example the wonderful parallel model of our private prisons.
Desired outcome - the teaching of needed skills and concepts to kids is of little consequence.
