 funding to private schools should be discontinued is simple fairness. Private schools already receive a great deal of

 from their tuition fees, not to mention the large donations they are often given by wealthy alumni. To add

this

 is patently unfair to public schools, who often struggle to pay for materials and quality teachers.
Secondly

 because they are not subject to the same controls as public institutions. They might teach subjects that go against the public interest, and many religious private schools discriminate against students who do not practise their religion. They should not,

 that comes from taxpayers.
Finally
