I find it unbelievable that anybody would even think this is a question worth asking.
Government has no right to ban private schools. Public schools are available, but nobody can be forced to use them if they think they can afford a better alternative. It would be ridiculous to even consider this proposal.
It's not necessarily true that private schools offer less diversity than public schools. In my area, there is a great deal of racial separation between municipalities, and the public school systems magnify these differences. The cities are generally split 1/3 white, 1/3 black and 1/3 latino, but the public school systems in the cities are almost entirely black and latino. The surrounding towns are almost all 90+% white, with schools systems that reflect this.
Private schools in the area draw from both the cities and the suburban towns, so they are much more diverse than the public schools. This is the normal situation in the northeast.
