[Blue Collar Christian]

You go ahead and choose, God bless your cause. I pray you don't have to make the adjustments I believe will come with the public that votes wanting your kids to be taught things their way. They can be just as dedicated to their cause as you are yours.

When the voucher innitiative was on the ballot here, this was the argument used by those opposed; Children will be taught by teachers that are fundamental Christians impressing their belief system on a much larger segment of the public. Maybe here in California I get a distorted impression of the desires of the public, being how liberals grow like weeds here. Believe me, I would like to at least be able to right off my son's tuition like interest on my home loan, and the voucher would be even better. Perhaps I'm tired of seeing the left prevail where we all know it is destroying our country.
I believe that the private schools would cave to the pressure to modify their curriculum rather than give up the funds provided by the vouchers. Perhaps where you live "it will never happen here." If we don't let the public funds into our private schools, the public cannot have a say in our affairs, period.

my money! NOT public funds. that's the crucial element...so, i demand accountability, ok, the gov. has no business here. theyre out of the loop.

i do grant your point that govt will seek to regulate, co-opt, interfere, and propagandize. theyre becoming quite efficient indeed. BUT with vouchers, what USED TO BE public money is now the original owner's (of that money). it is NOT public money, therefore not subject to the same control. (somethin smells fishy when you keep opposing vouchers based on an erroneous premise)
