The first step is getting the country to admit that the current public school system has failed and needs a complete overhaul.  And black parents overwhelmingly favor a voucher program as even they recognize how poor an education their kids are now getting.  

It was actually a sad joke reviewing the job applications that I received in my company from mostly minority (supposedly) high school graduates that were fundamentally illiterate.  Most couldn't construct a sentence, had little or no understanding of the question, had no conception of the kind of response a business was looking for in a prospective employee, and their spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure was an abomination, and this was 20 years ago in a northern NJ inner city with NJ leading the country in the amount of money spent on public school education, long before the Covid shutdown caused such a massive downturn in test scores.

Can you imagine how inner city minority voters would switch parties and vote to support a Republican candidate who promised to implement such a dramatic change?  Democrat politicians would be screaming bloody murder losing that support!
You make a lot of good points. Believe me, I have seen what the public schools produce. It's awful. I think most people in America believe that our education system is broken. However, the inner schools are the biggest problems. When they do the rankings, they include their performance along with the good schools.  Their performance is so bad that it brings the average down substantially. That is the main reason why we rank so low compared to the rest of the world. If we just got rid of those schools, and keep the serious ones, then our global ranking wouldn't be so bad.
