She does not; however, ask for a subsidy to do so. She pays her local taxes and tuition to the "private" school because she recognizes it as a personal choice. It is a shame that folks have to pay twice to get their children educated without being indoctrinated (in secular humanism). Both the parents and society as a whole have an interest in having educated children. True experts in various fields should design certain acceptance criteria for schools to meet and the state should then allow any parents x amount of money to send their children to whatever school (including the local public) that they desire. Money more than x needed for a particular school should come from the parents or other charitable sources.
We need to expose the public schools and make them compete in the marketplace of ideas.

We are in total agreement. What about all schools charging a tuition and a voucher system equal to the least expensive tuition?

Good luck. Very powerful union.
