However, there is a very silver lining here for those who wish to take it. If the school is failing you put your kid in a private school. And now this bill will cover 80% of the costs in a tax writeoff! Most of the private schools in Alabama are Christian schools, and many are very, very good, teaching not only the basics, but also instilling a Christian, moral, ethical, pro-American curriculum.
I can't see how this can hurt, if poorly taught kids (yes, even blacks) go to such institutions. In fact, I have several black colleagues who see the truth and pay for their kids private education, and their kids really benefit from it, as these schools do not condone the gansta way found elsewhere.
Your schools, and their curriculum, policies, textbooks and **worldview** are GODLESS. Simply by attending children **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. And...They risk learning that religious beliefs are to be private and left in the trash can at the door of their public life. ( This is not “fairly nice”.)
Your government owned and run government schools are **NOT** religiously neutral because no education can be. It is impossible. All schools must choose between either a God-centered worldview or a godless worldview and neither is religiously neutral in its content or consequences. ( This is not “fairly nice”.)
Your government owned and run schools are **forcing** citizens to pay for the NON-neutral GODLESS indoctrination of its children. ( This is not “fairly nice”.)
Your government schools are the very definition of a socialist and single-payer entitlement. By attending children risk learning that the voting mob has the power to give them tuition-free schooling. Well? If the voting mob can give them tuition-free school, why not use the voting mob to get **lots** of other “free” stuff? ( This is not “fairly nice”.)
Your government's socialist-entitlement and godless schools likely have many so-called “Christians” working in these godless indoctrination camps. When did Christ ever teach that Christians should support, work for, and establish indoctrination centers that teach children to think godlessly and be comfortable with stealing ( socialism)? At some point, and on some level, children may likely determine that their prison-like schools are in contradiction to Christian principles that so-called Christian teachers are promoting and supporting. The Barna Foundation reports that 85% of children from highly active evangelical homes fail to be active in their faith 2 years after graduation from their godless government schools. Maybe it is because the kids can't stand the Christian hypocrisy of their so-called “Christian” jailers ( oops! “teachers”). ( This is not “fairly nice”.)
In many ways the government in your county's schools treat children (whose only crime was to be born) like prisoners. Every First Amendment Right in government schools is trashed ( speech, press, assembly, expression of religion, and godlessness is imposed on them by law). The children risk learning to be comfortable prisoners of the state. ( This is not “fairly nice”.)
