"Brain Eating Syphillis Pandemic" would be a great name for a punk band. I am assuming your government schools are teaching more actual stuff than ours over here. I assume they teach about trans etc but maybe they're not trying to trans everyone?
One reason for the tax break is, I suspect, that private school parents are still taxed for the public school 'education' that their children are not getting. Those monies go to the benefit of those less able to afford better, or who don't care. By increasing the cosr of private education you harm those who would benfit from it but can't afford the higher price. Also you lumber public schools with additional students-which, unless this new tax goes to them prorated per capita, will have a higher financial burden. Finally, if middle and upper middle class folks become unable to afford private schools, then these schools will become even more exclusive.
As I have found over my lifetime Mr.Gage, education is a wonderful tool. But a tool in the hands of a fool means nothing. Sadly, our societies value the paper of credentials.
Look at our politicians or the political talking heads. The speak and spew nonsense. Yet, all are highly educated.
Not to worry though, I am all but certain they will fall over the cliff while we commoners watch and laugh.
Perceptive. (I didn't know that.) You should teach English in schools, man. (Glad to see you're on the mend, mate. As my old man would say: don't let the bastards get ya down.)

We're fine with absorbing the paltry cost of £400m a year. It's indefensible, economically or otherwise.
Who was the Indian journalist who wrote “In our society the scum always rises to the top.”

Cressida and Barnaby are Shakespearean villains. Beware the hides in starch!

They’re not actually villains but should have been. You come up with good ones. Lol
One suspects the "brain-eating syphilis pandemic" is well underway. What else would explain "transgenderism" or even the swerve toward communism?
