re: #309 Targetpractice

That’s all the idea of “school choice” really is, the dismantling of public schools in favor of parochial schools, home schools, and other forms of education where the parents are free to brainwash their kids. And nine times outta ten, the people who are pushing it are already rich enough that they can afford to send their kids to private schools now.

Exactly. They simply want vouchers so they don’t have to pay as much to send their kid to the private school they are already sending their kid to. They want to be subsidized. I checked on private schools in my city and none of them have a tuition that would be even close to being covered by a voucher. Therefore, any poor people would automatically be eliminated because they can’t come up with the rest of the money for tuition. It’s a scam.
