The idea that education could be a privilege is something I find repugnant. That's like saying that health care is a privilege. Though I have heard people make both arguments...
I think education should be publicly funded even for college level, but there should be conditions. I don't think college should ever be compulsory (and I don't think there is any place where it is, anyway) and certain minimum performance levels should be in place. But I really do believe that society benefits when everyone who wants to be educated gets an opportunity to become educated.
