[Comparative Advantage]

I am very sympathetic to the concept of vouchers but fear too many strings will be attached by government if it were to become widespread. We send our child to a private Christian school and it stinks paying for publik skools and a private education. Nevertheless, I don’t trust government to keep their marxist hands off of quality private schools if vouchers were available. The stakes are too high for a little bit of money back in my pocket.

Vouchers don't address the real issue: the existence of a government monopoly on education. You would have to eliminate any governmental role in education to introduce true choice. Most people object to a governmental role in private schools because with vouchers, comes control. If its not going to succeed in one of the deepest Red States in the country, its not going to succeed anywhere, period. We need to eliminate the public school monopoly and end government's role in educating our children.

I agree with that as well, it would've been the greatest danger of vouchers and one that would have had to have been vigilantly watched over. I guarantee, if vouchers had passed that education establishment legislators would've crafted legislation to get their paws into private schools and further undermine parental freedom in their child's education.
