Are we in agreement that IF we are going to continue to use tax money for education that parents should have decision power on which school, if any they choose to attend??

Only if parents that choose to home school their children and those schools not part of the public school system are NOT required to follow the government's curriculum or regulated by the government once said vouchers (or other forms of relief) are administered. I personally know how government works. Once they get "their" money into a program they think they have the right (and rightly so) to regulate it and to insist that certain guidelines are met. It's precisely this thinking that has driven our public school system into the Marxist concentration camps of socialist indoctrination that they are today. To a Marxist (Progressive) it is more important to teach young girls that babies are nothing more than tumors that need to be chopped up and removed, teach all children that putting colorful condoms on bananas is fun and that Christians are no different than Muslims.

I for one am more in favor of pushing for a total withdrawal of all public funds being used for education and that said funds be returned to the public in the form of tax cuts. Then... those parents and grand parents that have school aged children will be able to afford to send their child to the "school" of their choice or to afford to purchase the teaching aides needed to properly educate their child themselves.

I'm tired of the education system trying to make me support them. They work for me, the parent, and they should be required to support my values. I'M PAYING THE BILL!

Seriously folks, if you have to work for hours with your child every night doing your child's homework with them, in essence doing the teacher's job, what the hell do you need the teacher for?

If you love your child you will teach him/her yourself in a loving and safe environment; YOUR HOME!!!

Um, let me know when you pass that law, anywhere, ok? If politics is the art of the possible you suggestions strikes me as about as likely to happen as pigs flying.
