Got Kids In Public School? You Don't Vote.

Nevada public schools ill-serve ~400,000 kids. At 2.2 kids/family, that represents ~182,000 individual parents, 99% of whom must be voting age. Nevada spends > $10,000 per K-12 student (including debt service and PERS). Public school parents are receiving a huge, material benefit from BIG government. Not all of them are parasites, however.

Compulsory attendance laws *force* parents to put their kids in school, leaving them little choice but to sign up for the public education system (at least until age 16). If we abolished truancy laws ~80% of the kids would dropout. Therefore, 20% of public school parents (but 100% of those with kids >= age 16)) should be disenfranchised.

That would be ~50,000 voters.
