The wealthy want to profit off privatizing the system, treat teachers like replaceable gig workers, and control the curriculum in order to hide their machinations and create ideal workers.
How are schools underfunded? Per student/year, more is spent than in any other country. It’s difficult to claim they’re understaffed too… something like 50-60% of school employees are administration and other support (maybe that should be “support” with irony quote marks) roles.
As for “under attack”, that’s not even close to true. Instead, schools are (and always have been, always will be) indoctrination camps. No one wants to attack that… they want to control it. What you see as an attack is just the fight going on between factions who want to be in charge of it. To believe one faction more virtuous than another is naive.
