Here in the US people championed it because education could help lift people out of abject poverty.
Of course they did. People are always looking for a free ride.

That wasn't my point. Public education removes parent's responsibility (and right) to decide what kind of schooling their child recieves, and of course to actually *provide* the education rather than just depending on the state for it.
