Could Federal Educational Vouchers Aimed at the Poor and Useable in Public Schools Work?

51. So you admit your ultimate goal is to destroy public schools--

'Of course they aren't going to come our for a national (voucher) program ... now."

Your modest proposal is like criminalization of "partial birth abortion". Once a criminal statute is in place, expanding it is easy--to all abortions after the second week of pregnancy, then to all abortions, then to contraception.

You actually linked in this thread to a story about the DC voucher program Republicans forced onto the "nation's last colony." Your national program restricted to the poor would be a next step. Then finally all restrictions on who could get a national K-12 voucher would be lifted.

Following the federal precedent, state and local governments could follow suit and establish their owh voucher plans. Public schools would wither as "private" K-12 schools--80 percent of which are run be religious institutions--would eliminate the line between church and state. Churches would use tax revenues to indoctinate clildren with distorted history and science books, and distorted righr-wing notions of religion.

Nice plan, but you are busted.
