As such, any charitable organization or corporation contributing
its magic Libertopia money to a school or education factory would definitely
demand a say in what is taught.  Ideally, of course, this would be altruistic,
but in reality it would forward the political, social, and economic agendas
and value systems of the contributors, regardless of the wishes of the
families whose children are taught at such institutions.

So let me see... your point is, these putative people who are dependent on the
kindness of strangers because they're what, chronic crack smokers, deserve some
sort of say in what morality their children are shown?

solution is. I'd love to hear it. More government spending, perhaps?

(...) This, yet again, sounds like "forget the stragglers" reasoning. What if "people" (whoever they might be--I'm dying to hear some suggestions, since in Libertopia a person's responsibility seems to be to himself and/or his family) don't feel (...)
