As I pointed out, all private schools, even home schools, are subject to many regulations already. I ask you if you can cite a time when money was provided by the government without strings attached? So there will be more regulation.
Has the regulation of grocery stores become worse since the introduction of food stamps? Perhaps....but this I don't see how this anything to do with food stamps per se.
Food stamps carry strings for the users, not the providers for the most part. That is why the analogy is flawed. AS far as the stores go, the regulations on the stores have become worse (increased cost to the stores for bookkeeping, etc) but not in a big enough way to make a point about it.
Vouchers are just are parents keeping their school tax money. How can government regulate tax rebates? Do they regualte tax refunds now?
