Their logic is stupid.

BY DEFINITION, once the funding goes to support a voucher to an alternative school, it makes that PART OF THE SYSTEM for educating the children.

It all depends on whether you focus on the word "system" or "public". My reading of english indicates that the system is the important word here, not public. By definition - once anything is included in this system it becomes part of the the "system of public education".

In other words, a "system for educating the public" - not "a system of public schools" which this absolutely does not say - yet they claim.

To make them look stupid - are buses part of the education system? Yes? But are buses public schools? No. They are part of the "system".

The rest is just liberal claptrap, which is why they don't even bother to state what part of the Constitution has anything to do with diversion of money.

It's unequal to allow some children to get a better education whose parents don't have the personal funds to do it, even if it saves the state money via a voucher with an amount less than the state cost, because that would be unfair, and unconsitutional under the Florida constitution. Surely you understand that. Enforced mediocrity at additional state expense for those who can't play to pay is what the constitution is all about. But then I don't like state constitutions. One rogue court is enough. 51 of them is simply too much. All things in moderation.
