That doesn't have to be. I went to school under the GI Bill which was a form of voucher system.The argument against vouchers is the one the teachers' union and left-wing propagandists use.
Unions have not made the argument I made so far as I have ever heard. Government funds come with government strings is my point.
You in favor of compulsory pledges to Hillary?
"get out of town - it's the pledge of allegiance, it doesn't hurt anyone. No one is compelled since you don't have to recite it you don't want to but you do have to show respect to the others around and at least stand like the rest. sometimes you folks kill me. always at the extreme. first the Pledge, next thing ya know we're all in concentration camps."

The American Civil Liberties Union does, too, and filed a lawsuit this week in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, arguing that the law violates a person's constitutional right to free speech."
