"The reason we cannot do that is because taxes are used to pay not for education, but for schools, for teachers."
Obviously education experts, right? (sarcasm). So schools and teachers have nothing to do with education? What a crock.
Thank you for tracing this back to Milton Friedman. His goal was always to subsidize the private education choices of richer families with public monies.
If a family uses their own car rather than public transportation, government does not subsidize the private car. In fact, government taxes the family to support public roads and bridges, police and fire departments, and other public purposes.
Thank you for also noting that when the private schools use public money, they do NOT want public accountability, do NOT wish to admit all students who wish admission, do NOT want equal employment opportunity laws to apply. They also do NOT want taxpayers to have the right to elect their school boards or to receive notices of school board meetings or to have a right to inspect their books to see how taxpayer funds are being spent. They still want to be PRIVATE but with our money.
Is this just a way for public officeholders to get the taxpayers to pay for THEIR children's private education? I have to wonder.
Harold: Spend a month as a teacher and then spout off....you believe just what the anti union Repubs tell you too....why b so hateful to people educating children....ick
