To: Tired of Taxes
A-24. Voucher Plans and Tuition Tax Credits

The National Education Association believes that voucher plans, tuition tax credits, or other funding arrangements that use tax monies to subsidize pre-K through 12 private school education can undermine public education, reduce the support needed to fund public education adequately, weaken the wall of separation between church and state, and cause racial, economic, and social segregation of students.

The Association opposes voucher plans, tuition tax credits, or other such funding arrangements that pay for students to attend sectarian schools. The Association also opposes any such arrangements that pay for students to attend nonsectarian pre-K through 12 private schools in order to obtain educational services that are available to them in public schools to which they have reasonable access. (1970, 2000)

In other words, the puplic school system is the only system, and should be considered the savior of all mankind.Barf!

BUMP

To: concerned about politics
There was a local newspaper ad from our school district saying that private schools (including home schools) are eligible for support (not in the way of funds, but as in paper, pencils, and misc equipment).. our homeschool group wondered if textbooks count, computers, pianos? LOL. Anyway, you had to fill out all kinds of forms (surprise.) I passed.
