I am so opposed to vouchers for private schools. My children , all 4 of them, went to private schools and I had to do without a lot to be able to afford to send them there. My oldest son and daughter attended a prep school that had a very competitive basketball team. The coach decided it would be a good idea to give scholarships to inner city boys to increase the ratio of black to white in the school from 0% to 10% and maybe add some players to the basketball team. The scholarship students disrupted classes, didn’t conform to the dress code, and never received a passing grade. I was paying all this money to get away from this type of behavior. I pulled my children out and put them in the Catholic school an hours drive away.

The prep school founded in the 1930’s closed 3 years later.
