Hell, no Federal dollars for certain accrediation might just do it any way. No money for the schools, no Federal grants or loans for their graduates, and no money for the universities if they have too many "unaccredited" students and that would include research dollars or help with bonding issues.
If you're sneaky enough, you might even stick it into some unrelated legislation that gets the opposition to supply the votes and then beat them up for while "somehow" never changing it.
Perhaps anyone not enrolled in public school could be deemed truant until they comply. They may still go to private "school" as an outside activity but it may not be used as a substitute for reconized education.
If the point is to give poorer schools more money, then fight for that. You cannot put the poor on the same footing as the wealthy, they can always price us out. The objective then becomes to force the wealthy to share our burden instead of allowing them to set up alternative infrastructures for their own benefit.
