I agree with most of what you say, the money does belong to the tax payers, but have you noticed that when someone doesn't agree with something all of a sudden it becomes "government dollars?"

This is my scary vision. Can you ever see a newscaster talking about a Christian charter school and how tax dollars are going to pay for kids to worship Christ during the day? All of a sudden the liberals who were all for charter schools are now up in arms and wanting the law changed so that certain types of schools are not allowed to have government funds.

As I said earlier, I'm not really for or against yet. I guess I just don't trust the Federal government to do the right thing by taxpayers and let private schools keep what makes them unique. I attended a mixture of Christian, private, and public schools during my time from 5-18 (10 different schools all total). Christian schools can be wonderful places. I'm not a fan of big government and when money crosses hands, things get wierd. I guess I'm cynical that it can work, because of that lack of trust.

Good points btw for me to think about. I appreciate your viewpoints. This is something I feel like I need to come to a good decision on in the near future. But, I don't like to make decisions until I've read and researched the issue, looking at both sides. Thanks again.

I guess it's a bridge we cross when we get there.
It's very difficult to take a position when the fine print isn't right in front of us.


"This is my scary vision. Can you ever see a newscaster talking about a Christian charter school and how tax dollars are going to pay for kids to worship Christ during the day?"

That's the tactic they already use to fight against vouchers in the first place.

I guess when it comes time to judge my opinion will be determined by how much control parents get to have in the situation.
