Chemical alley. Having successfully fled that awful Nanny State, I disdain it, like Kira from Lenin's purges. No one that I know of who stays there makes a whit of sense anymore. All sneering liberal NYT's types.

Ping. Ne1 there?

We've started public preschools

So they can start the indoctrination process earlier.

There has been some support in struggling urban districts, but no legislation has been introduced that could make it law...and never will be, because the fourteen worst "struggling urban districts" in the state already get millions of no-strings-attached extra tax dollars to bring them up to the spending levels of the most affluent districts in the state under the court-ordered Abbott plan. Moreover, this distorts the spending picture for schools all over the state. Our little south Jersey town with a percapita income of about half the state average always comes in toward the bottom in school-spending statistics, in large part because about one tenth of the districts of similar makeup and even lower income against which we're compared get Abbott funding, in essence doubling the number of affluent schools in comparison. Our teachers love it because they get to push for big raises by screaming about the town "hating children" and "shortchanging our children's future" for not spending more. The education establishment in Jersey has plenty of reasons beyond the usual self-serving ones like fear of accountability for opposing vouchers, in spite of how "progressive" it may claim to be.....

Tax money to send children to religious schools is not a sensible idea.

As a resident of the Peoples Republc of New Jersey all I can say is I loathe the NJNEA.

Public School = Democrat Party

Tax lice who feed off the scalp of productivity
