I was puzzling the other day about how it could be done, who would pay for it, etc. I'm in favor of vouchers, but think the chances are slim to none they would be enacted in the next four years. I also feel a little nervous about them because there is still government money involved. I would like to make private Christian education available for any child in the country who wants it.

Please read post #27. This explains conservative voucher foundations.

Most Christian churches are not going to open schools. There are too many government teachers in the pews and ministers are not going to bite the hand that puts money in the plate.

Christian families ( with the minimal financial help of conservative education foundations ) should open loosely organized one-room school houses, homeschool cooperatives, and tutoring centers. The brick and mortor school should be abandoned. They are too expensive and have too many zoning an health regulations.

Also...Conservatives should use the liberal’s laws against them. If Muslims can have charters, then conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) should open charters too.

I've seen this firsthand. We had a family in one church I attended with several school teachers. They objected to the pastor's preaching. He had the gall to preach that men are born with a twisted nature, per the Scriptures. IOW, he was not afraid to "bite the hand" that puts money in the plate. You see, this family bought into the government-school's idea that humans are basically good, and tried to propagate this notion. The pastor stood up against this family, and they finally left the church, and took about half the congregation with them.
