Biden free college a reality?

You can't "dilute" the value of a smarter populace.

Having idiot citizens is already the downfall of the USA.

Created by the government run school system.

That's a matter of opinion that I don't share. It is much more the fault of poverty. Suburban school districts that have strong community support, with students that have attentive parents do great. Schools in poor neighborhoods struggle mightily.

I truly believe the only solution at the K-12 level is true integration...yes, that means busing students both into and out of poorer areas. Don't bother to tell me that it won't be allowed to happen for a multitude of reasons. There was a very interesting This American Life that told the story of some students who, in the wake of school closings in Ferguson, MO, were able to take advantage of a loophole in state law that required ANY school in the area to take those students, district lines notwithstanding. The difference it made to the students who got into upscale schools was very dramatic. Needless to say the state quickly closed the loophole.

I'm in favor of school choice including vouchers.  Your zip code shouldn't determine your education.  If everyone got to go to the school that offered what they wanted, I think schools would end up specializing, and they'd all get better.
