You haven't paid attention to university tuitions with federally subsidized student loans.

He was exactly correct.

The funny things about schools is that they have capacity.
Giving more money to parents who already send their students to private schools does not change the capacity of the private schools.

Consequently due to capacity, it doesn't create a more competitive environment versus public schools (unless you are arguing for a merit based entrance to private schools... which eliminates 100% of the purpose for public funding because the public school system and taxes that support the public school system are designed to support every student no matter the burden that they place on the school system).

If the private schools do not accommodate "every " student, then they are not realizing why the government is taxing the citizenry in the first place.
And maybe private schools should be for the privileged kids (and families) who can afford the tuition. And maybe private schools should not be eligible for public tax dollars if they cannot meet the state constitutional burden for which those taxes were levied in the first place.
