If the state is giving parents vouchers to pay for their children's schools, they should be able to take those vouchers to the school of their choice.

I would think, however, that the state would have standards for the schools they fund. I've read articles about some of these religious schools who basically do nothing but have the kids study the Bible.
A school like that should not be allowed to participate in a voucher program.

Around here, some of the best schools are the Catholic schools. They have rather high academic standards and their graduates are generally well-educated. I don't have a problem with people taking vouchers to those schools. But if you're going to have a voucher program, you also need some sort of accreditation for schools to meet.
