“these tax break are based on IRS regulations.”

Actually exemptions from property taxes are based on state law, not federal law.

“There is no need for government socialized education. Let government get out of the education business and allow the private sector to operate schools”

I know that it is politically incorrect to suggest that the United States might benefit from looking at what other countries do, but in Ireland, almost all schools below the university level are run by religious organizations and funded by the government. As a result, religious schools must accept students not from their own religion and teach other religions. The one Jewish school has many Christian students and teaches Christianity and past chief rabbis developed courses in Judaism to be taught in the Catholic and Protestant schools.

Be careful what you wish for.
