Si! I do believe that we live in a republic. However, if you study historical documents from New England in the 1630's onward, you will find many references to public schools. Granted these were created to allow the populace to read the Bible, but that's another issue. Also, the original structure of the Northwest Territory authored by Thomas Jefferson included allotments of land for funding education. I hope that is enough evidence.
