Arguing over the morality (or even constitutionality) of such a measure was not the point of me bringing it up. It's obviously a complete political non-starter in the US (it's within the Overton Window in Britain, but still highly unlikely).
The point was that there are compelling arguments to make that both greatly liberalizing school choice and greatly eliminating school choice would improve things for those who are economically disadvantaged. That says a lot about how badly things are working now.

So what? I was asking how you would feel.

Eliminating choice is generally about centralizing control.

To me how I feel about it is tied directly to the morality of it.

I disagree with this. Eliminating choice generally causes a centralizing of control, but that does not mean it's generally the motivation for it.
