Vouchers go to parents. Not the schools. Therefore, there can be no government involvement - separation of church and state, remember?

I have to disagree. There is absolutely no legal principle that I am aware of that prevents the Federal government from imposing any sort of condition they wish on schools that wish to receive Federal money. And merely because the parents will be "spending" it doesn't make it any less the Federal government's money.

How about tax credits for private secondary school education? The cynical side of me thinks that there are some "conservatives" who merely want a government entitlement to a private school education for their children.

The cynical side of me thinks that there are some "conservatives" who merely want a government entitlement to a private school education for their children...

I think there are many people who would agree with you on that one. So long as these vouchers remain in the hands of the poor, low income, disabled, or for failing schools only, then, your claim is a tougher sell. But, if the whole system drastically changes, you might suddenly find a lot more people oppose it.
