It is part of the public education system, however the taxpayer money does not make the cost of tuition free at point of service, to students. To be clear, are you in favor of free tuition at US public universities?


Taxpayer money makes education free through the 12th grade. Are you drawing an arbitrary line for educating the populace.

As for free public universities - I thought I'd been clear that we should do it since we can do it by re-allocating existing spending.
