I’m still paying thousands in property taxes to fund those public schools.

I wouldn't mind as much if the money followed the child.

left-wing magazine New Republic released a major article claiming Republicans were now out to destroy the public-school system instead of “reform” it.

Public schools are destroying themselves. Sensible people are just fleeing the stench of the rotting corpse

My daughters go to a private Christian school that has sports teams and a marching band.

Many students have received athletic scholarships because they were on the teams, and my eldest has a music scholarship because she was in band.

Great point. And the decay started when Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education.

Public schools are an artifact of the 1800s.

We have the Internet now—time to move on and stop the stupidity of public schools.

The money is tied to the student headcount and graduation percentage.

They do. Science labs are not well equipped, and so on. Sports teams and marching bands get the funding.

We no longer have a Nation. We gave it to the leftists without a fight.

“It’s about the complete destabilization of public education so that parents will choose private schools.”

Maybe the left should quit destabilizing the schools.

The reality is that conservatives don’t want to end public school education - they want to re-start it. They want to move away from marxist indoctrination back to education.

Not if the system is so totally broken, we make a new system for our children. The left will continue to do as they do, be stupid and lazy. They will not defend us when push comes to shove, so I really don’t feel sorry for them. Parents today, for the most part, are lazy, self centered POS. Just my opinion but I have heard it over and over and over from family and friends who ARE teachers and have to deal with it every day. Parents do not care. One student my daughter in law taught, the mom and then the aunt left the kid at the school. Told them to not send the child home, no one would be there. When the police got involved the mom basically said where do I sign to get rid of the kid...... So sad and they wonder why the child acts up. Most likely mom was high when she was out screwing around as this was one of nine..... siblings. AND we are paying for it.

“The previous laws had put strong restrictions on homeschooling and private school funding.”

I have no doubt the lefties are fervently working to restore those restrictions.

If everyone stopped paying their property taxes it would send a message. bTW, has property every been challenged in courts? To me, it would seem unconstitutional because you must pay the government in order to simply live in an area. Sounds racist and unequal to me. Also, it voids true property ownership because your land can be confiscated if demands are not met. Property taxes are a pet peeve of mine and the only reason we’d move from our Eastern PA home. It’s simply impossible to retire with a $10,000 tax bill every year.

Both my kids went to private schools and that was back in the eighties and nineties. Both graduated from a major university. Both are doing well in their late thirties/early forties. Had they stayed in Public Schools, I have no doubt there would have been a different and unpleasant result.

Meanwhile, all that time, I paid “School Taxes” which in Texas are the largest taxes among about 4-6 (different types of taxes) paid by property tax. Ultimately, Texas will go to vouchers which could end Public Schools as we know them.
