It's time to try something else. Vouchers just won't fly at the moment.
So how about this: everyone that sends their child to a private school gets a tax refund equal to some fraction of the amount they would have spent in taxes to educate their child in a public system.
Someone with a $2000 property tax bill where $1000 was used for public education might get a $750 refund if they sent their child to a private school, for example.
This to me seems completely fair and would be a good start.
Seriously, I think this should be tried. We homeschooled our kids, paid for all their books and materials, funded our attendance at homeschool conferences and conventions to learn about teaching techniques and curricula, and yet the state and local governments continued to tax us to fund a public education system our children weren't part of. We should have at least been given a tax credit for the cost of educating our own children.
This has little to do with church and state and I don't think that's a good argument for it.
Some of the others werent' as valid to me either.
There's a ton of money in the private sector to use as a substitute though. Better than having more government intrusion into private schools.
Then I would hope that those of us who would pay for that personal choice get refunds too. And then I would hope the abortionists wouldn't come asking for money to pay for their choice too.
