So what we're really talking about is just spending more money to send send kids to government controlled schools, right? :-)

Actually, no, on two counts:
1) It's not more money, it's the same money taxed away that's been rebated back to parents
2) There is no government control. It is parents spending their money as they choose.

I was responding to the assertion that private schools would refuse vouchers if they came with strings attached. If that's the case, then vouchers could only be used in schools which allowed government meddling, which gets us right back to where we are now.

That's the very, very big part of all this that's lost in the pro-indoctrination propaganda. It's a tax break for a good education, and yet they complain!
If a private school cost more than that, the parents come up with the balance, not the government.
