to be a public subsidy to private schools...not to mention endorsement of a religion

I consider charter schools to be a subsidy

I consider public funds used to support "amateur" collegiate sports to be a subsidy

Etc...

(added on edit) Let's make a special, most heinous case for tax breaks for "non-profit" lobbying to encourage for-profit education.
