There is FAR greater damage coming from the Private universities in the Ivy League than from the Public Schools. Where do you think they get their ideas from?

Before everyone goes off into hosannahs be aware that these vouchers will just as easily subsidize the funding of private Left wing schools, Black separatist movements and Islamic schools as those of the Right. Don't think this battle is won.

That is worse than public left wing schools?

If that is how parents wish for their children to be educated, then we have to let them use the vouchers for that school. I might disagree with it, but they do have that right.

Ummm, freedom and choice also allow people to engage in leftist thought, speech and actions as conservatives. I think the gains are worth the risk.

Oh, yes. See today's thread about "jihadist Kindergartens" where small children are taught that Jews are like pigs and dogs, and deserve to die. Or, more likely, I watched a TV news show (sorry I can't be more specific) where a few girls in an Islamic school in America were being taught that America should be governed by an Islamic government according to sharia, instead of according to the Constitution. Do you want people to pull their money out of the public schools and spend it on American madrassas?

. . . these vouchers will just as easily subsidize the funding of private Left wing schools, Black separatist movements and Islamic schools . . .

In other words, public schools.

Fine with me. "Let a hundred flowers bloom and a thousand thoughts contend."
