So why have the NEA, the AFT, the NAACP, the NCJW, the ACLU, PFAW, the AJCongress, the ADL and other left wing grops vowed to fight vouchers in every state in which they are proposed?

BINGO! That's exactly why I say this argument is a NEA sponsored, desperate propaganda trick. It does pay to be cautious, and look at all issues, but I do not think this is a "Trojan Horse".

but I do not think this is a "Trojan Horse".

It's a tax break tward freedom.

To everyone on this thread: So that I may gain insight as to where you are comming from, and as to your knowledge of private schools, who here either went to a private school or sends their children to one?

I joined the Alliance for the Separation of School and State over 5 years ago. It is a great group and does inform people of the issues but there is little desire out there to end taxpayer funded education. So, as you mentioned, we either keep pouring money into the NEA coffers or we go to vouchers.

No organization in American history has done more to drive religion out of the public square or stop taxpayer fundig of private schools than the AJCongress. Their, now departed,lawyer,Leo Pfeffer, is an icon of the left for the cases he argued before SCOTUS. Check out what the AJCongress has to say on the issue:
