Why? The First Amendment is misrepresented by the Left, for the purpose of maintaining the monopoly for indoctrinating the young generation. The Amendment states that the government cannot impose religion on the people. But the second part of the Amendment expressly reads that the gov't cannot interfere with the free exercise of religious beliefs either. Excluding religious schools violates the second clause of the I Amendment. At the same time, making religious schools eligible does not violate the first clause, because vouchers recipients are not forced to send their kids to religious schools.
You are still free to exercise your religion, just not on my dime. And are we talking about exercising religion or education? I’m no fan of the leftist indoctrination of public school kids. For me the first concern is getting back to teaching the children the Constitution and the difference between being a subject and a citizen.
Very well said. I am glad we agree on something in some approximation. ;)
