I didn't say Morrison was an Act supporter or that Seymour is the Nix's favourite politician. People in his position generally are very right wing though (in the classical sense of being about low taxes and less government spending rather than high taxes and goverment services, not in terms of all the social issues that get associated with the political left and right).

But the fact of the matter is that the charter school scheme is not a good faith attempt to improve education generally, it is designed to undermine and ultimately dismantle universal public education (some libertarians genuinely believe this will improve education, while others are simply ideologically opposed to to concept of universal public education, whether that improves things or not). Intelligent people understand this. Morrison & Domey will understand this.

It is one of the biggest political changes you could conceivably make to this country, if not the biggest. To do anything within this space is an incredibly political act, either you are happy with the idea of public schooling being dismantled or you are not bothered about it happening. But it is a matter of such significance that even agnoticism is partisan, in my view. 

I fully agree about what Seymour is trying to achieve with charter schools, and his wider policies. However, benefitting from a government policy is not the same as endorsing the government, no matter how often you make the false equivalence.

Calling everyone who disagrees with you unintelligent doesn't exactly scream that you understand nuance though.
