re: #43 GunstarGreen

What I don’t get about vouchers though, I mean from the parent perspective (the religious-political perspective is obvious) is… why is this a big deal? They could have shipped their brats off to Good Faith Academy or wherever the hell at any time, they don’t need a voucher for that. Literally all the voucher does is get the state to pay for it.

And aren’t we supposed to hate Big Gub’Mint™ handouts and such as dirty soshalisem?

The argument is each child is supposed to get X dollars per year for their education. In most cases, this means the school gets the money for every student enrolled there. The vouchers system means the parents are given that money to pay for a private school of their choosing, which nowadays means one that supports their religious beliefs.
