Yes local taxes would stay the same for funding, but federal dollars are meted out on a per pupil basis.

This is true, but local taxes still pay the vast bulk of education costs, so it would be a funding net-win for the leftists.

Still, no reason not to pull your kid out.

I hate to be a pessimist, but I don't think anything is going to change. The few who take their kids out of public school won't amount to a hill of beans. We have to do something at the political level in order to stop the funding of public schools. Even that, is far-fetched. The horse is out of the barn and I don't think we'll ever get it back. We've been cooked like a frog in water. This information was available back in the late seventies. I homeschooled my first son starting in 1986 because I knew it then. What's so discouraging to me is that even Christians sent their kids to public school after they threw God out.
