In fact, what is the purpose of having a magistrate if not to enforce the general equity of God's law?
Is this a judicial law or moral law that the state should enforce?
I don't think it matters since I am talking only about the 'general equity' of God's Law.

Some seem to be missing the main point of the OP. The question is not about who should do the educating, but should the magistrate demand that children get educated somehow. To me the answer is obvious.
