We need a law like Canada and most of Europe has - tax dollars follow the child to whatever school the parents choose - parochial , govt., private. Time to get the control back, Parents!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That isn’t going to happen. Look at what happened in Utah.

The following is what needs to happen ( simultaneously):

1) Shame:

Conservative should start asking parents who use government schools, “Why would you do that to your child?” “What catastrophe is going on your life that you need to do that?” It is time that those using government schools start explaining themselves and giving excuses.

Conservatives should start asking Christian teachers, “Why are you working for government schools?” “What are you doing in your church to get kids out of the atheistic government schools?” “Specifically, what have you done and what are you doing to forcefully and effectively change your government school?” “Why haven’t you been fired?”

2)Private foundations to offer private vouchers to private schools that uphold the Constitution, free markets, and the Judeo Christian principles upon which all freedom rests:

If Harvard can have a $35 BILLION dollar endowment, and universities across this nation with endowments in the billions and millions, then conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) could do the same! It is time we gave the conservative teachers ( Christian and non-Christian) and their ministers some money to follow!

3) Encourage family, friends, and neighbors to use private and home schools.

4) Organize a MASSIVE school tax revolt with the goal to completely shut down, ( forever!) the government madrassas ( mis-named “schools”)

To your last point - a 100% tax revolt - that’s how we can get the laws ultimately changed to have the money follow the child. If enough children are pulled out of govt. schools, then the schools don’t get their money from the the govt. and then there will be some action.

What happened in Utah? I know they wanted out of NCLB and were willing to give up any Federal money to do it.
