“These accounts differ from vouchers in that parents can use the money to finance several educational needs simultaneously. This distinction is important. In 2009, the Arizona supreme court ruled that vouchers violate the state’s constitutional provisions against using public money for private or religious purposes. But in 2014, the state supreme court upheld a lower-court ruling determining that ESAs are constitutional because they are fundamentally different from vouchers.”

Why clearly they are! One’s called a voucher and the other is called an ESA. As different as night and day!

IIRC Sun City was exempt from tax collection destined for public schools. How about letting parents opt out of the public system, keeping their money to send their kids to whatever school fits best.

Wow—I would love to opt out of paying school taxes since I have no kids in the system and never did due to homeschooling.

Why, we can’t do THAT, people may use their $$ for things the govt doesn’t *want* like, oh, I don’t know, a TRUE education for their children; or those w/o kids\older to keep their own $$, instead of giving it to the ‘less fortunate’ /s
