Chief Justice Barbara Pariente said the program "diverts public dollars into separate private systems parallel to and in competition with the free public schools," which are the sole means set out in the state constitution for educating Florida children...........

As if competition is a bad thing.

The ruling should be welcomed. It will increase homeschooling and ultimately lead to the collapse of the public school monopoly. The SCOFLAW is helping to make that possible by kicking out the props from underneath the rotten system.

What the rich Democrats mean is they do not want the poor White, Black,and Mexican children mixing with their children in the private schools.

Voucher opponents included the state teachers union, the Florida PTA, the NAACP and the League of Women Voters.

I understand the opposition of the union and the PTA, but why the NAACP and the League of Women Voters? This is not a black or women issue, but a children's issue.

Public education is an infringement upon the rights of the American people. Teaching belongs in the family, not the state. If certain like-minded groups want to pool resources, then let them do so at their own expense. Use our taxes for defense. Get government out of the education business now and forever.

Leeches. Suckers. Peddlers of mediocrity and moral relativism. That's our teacher's unions.

We here in FLA have a rogue Supreme Court which was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court - narrowly. Does anyone require further argument for needing Alito? By the way, I, of course, voted for Bush in 2000 but I can scan to you a disastrously wrong vote I and other Floridians made in the same disputed election. I can tell why but that's another story. If you give me an e-mail you can send it along with my reply and post it for other FReepers. My computer skills are still too primitive! But I'm learning. RSVP if you're interested.

Now everyone just kneel before your black-robed kings and be nice little subjects, would ya?

just a thought ....

what if everyone kept their kid out of public school for 1 day .. perhaps that would get some attention.

I know the thought strikes fear into the heart of our local superintendent.
