Acquaintances of mine can square the circle!!! But they are not divulging their proof.
(FYI It's an analogy for all those lefties who send their children to private schools while simultaneously wanting to ban them.)
Fwiw, I don't have a problem with private schools. They obviously have the potential to confer "unfair" benefits to the students, but so do a whole host of other ways that their parents can spend money on them, including a bunch that kick in before school age. And as a payer of (very) high local taxes who sent two kids to private school, I find it hard to see that we somehow took resources away from the public school system.Ban nice restaurants. Make all food free.
Ban independent radio. Only broadcast the BBC.
Ban all books. Except for Marx.
The key element in this is, to me, motive. Why do the left want to ban private schools? They say they want to redistribute resources to everyone's benefit. (Redistribution, or what I would call "stealing," is big on the left.) But I don't believe that for one nanosecond. It's about envy. Envy is to some extent the driving force behind productivity...for the hard working. But it's also a cause for internal psychological anguish for the lazy. And, boy, do the left suffer that anguish! (It is seen is the screaming abuse of antifa and the short fuse of Corbyn.)
Do you honestly think that Corbyn and McDonnell, both of whom had the advantages of private education but failed miserably, want to ban private schools for any reason other than their own envy?
(The confusing thing, as I keep wittering on about, is the clever and rich people who also want to ban private schools. What is their tortuous internal reasoning?)
I suspect this is fake news. What Brendan O'Neill would write. At least on Wikipedia, they were educated at state/grammar/independent schools.
