If anybody is familiar with the Section 8 voucher system and how it grew and morphed, and how it destroyed once thriving neighborhoods, I can't imagine how they could support school vouchers.

Vouchers let parents choose schools that they feel are best for their own children.

Shitty schools will be weamned off the government teat. Amen!

Because, Vouchers should be universal.

How possibly could a neighborhood get worse if a student from the public school is allowed to go to the private school a block away? The school is still allowed to either accept or reject the voucher student based on skills, grades and discipline.

Vouchers should be expanded to all, regardless of economic situation. This would cause public schools to compete for the dollars and improve their terrible records, or close.

In major cities private and public schools are in the same neighborhoods.

The voucher system would be Constitutional when offered to every child.

So your base argument is that if those students who most need vouchers are allowed to have them, then they will ruin the private schools that are good?

And you are comparing this to Section 8 housing vouchers?

I really want you to clarify this position, because you sound like what you are really saying is that you want children of certain races to be stuck in crappy schools so they don’t “infect” the good private schools with their presence.

If that is not correct, then state so.
