Libertarians generally think taxes are immoral. However, they are practical, and see the necessity for some taxes... there is argument among them about how much, and what programs are essential. Some are laissez-faire capitalists, others are just more economically conservative than republicans (which isn't saying much, Bush is a HUGE spender).
Also, libertarians are against bullshit laws that are not necessary (victimless crimes...such as seat belt laws). They generally say you should be able to do whatever you want (within reason), so long as that activity doesn't cause direct harm or injury to another person.
COMPULSORY education, does not exactly fit their bill. They don't want truant officers dragging kids out of their homes, against their parent's wishes, to be educated in a government institution, if they/their parents really don't want to. In that respect, they are as pro-family as you can get, really.
Of course, being pro-market capitalists, they are enthusiastic about private education.
It's not a big deal anyway, 99% of American parents would likely force their kids to go, and do.
Anyways, if you wanted to teach the ideals of freedom, wouldn't you expect private companies to be more willing and able to do this (private schools) than government institutions, run by government officials and politicians?
