Ban private schools

What the petition asks
Private schools should be nationalised and converted into state schools. I believe that private schools nurture class division. If we are a forward thinking nation, private schools should have no place in society.
Finland banned for-profit basic education. Since then, I believe Finland has seen huge societal improvements (naturally) given the levels of freely available education.
I believe that we are run by a class that perceives themselves to be better, together with an ability to buy their way through life.
