The best solution would be for the government schools to simply collapse on their own. This could happen. Two things are needed:

1) Enough parents need to remove their kids. 2) A massive school tax revolt.

As for tax credits and vouchers, of the two, tax credits are the better choice.

Finally, in my state there are charter schools, a very small voucher program, and some tax credit schlarships. The waiting lists for all of these options are **ENORMOUS**! So,,,how long do you think the NEA can hold out against this kind of pressure?

We can't have that. We have to indoctrinate their little brains with mindless pablum and liberalism. They have to be taught that the environment is more important than their country. That way, they will give up the right to vote and I will be Queen.

So in Illinois donations to certain state approved education and scholarship foundations are deductible from the tax liability, not just listed as a general business expense?

Wow, that would sure change the equation for education in a heartbeat.

Imagine if Sears made a multimillion dollar gift to education and wiped out their tax bill for 2007!

I’d love to see the rats in Springfield race to change that law once they realized that it cost them budget dollars to spend!
