About

Primary education in the United States consists mainly of public schools, with private schools being the most popular, and often higher-quality (but usually expensive, i.e. unaffordable to many people) alternative. Home schooling and "unschooling" are also growing in popularity.

The US right wing seems to be engaged in a war to destroy the public school system.

(This is incorrect, and Conservapedia's only source for this claim is an article posted on the web site of its parent organization, Eagle Forum, by its founder, Phyllis Schlafly.)
