Labour won't abolish private schools, they may remove their charitable status though and the way they're funded needs looking at.

That isn’t their policy. But it would still be bad.

Labour delegates have endorsed radical plans that would abolish private schools by removing their charitable status and redistributing their endowments, investments and properties to the state sector.

Why exactly were they allowed to attain charitable status in the first place?

For a similar reason the religious intuitions get it, also make sense if they provide scholarships.

But you have to add to this that he proposes to effectively take the property of the private schools to make his policy work. The reason our society functions on the most basic level is that property rights exist.

It's obviously the first step to test and acclimatise the public the removal of property rights. Democracy is killed bit by bit without people noticing. This is why the left are using climate activism, they are making the augment that democracy doesn't work and that change needs to come to save the planet.
