Some people considered those with a well-rounded education (which includes the basics of morality and ethics) to be "elitism". I get it, not everyone can become educated. Maybe we should all aspire to lowest denominator status so no ones feelings get hurt.

It's simple really.
Private school's would have to be paid for by a means of fee's for the children to attend. That would disqualify gifted children from attending these schools if the parents could bot afford the cost.
We have had the same argument here in The UK for as long as i can remember. You don't see many children here from poor families going to Eton or Harrow school, unless they are lucky to get a grant. Which is very rare.
Eton and Harrow and all other private schools are where all " the top people " have attended. i.e eitism.
