re: New state model for education

vouchers for all would be devastating for our private schools by tieing them to govt funding/regulation.

Maybe if the state attaches strings to the vouchers...in that case private schools are free to tell the state to go to hell and keep their vouchers.

My plan would not attach strings to vouchers.

If we are going to tax citizens in order to provide public education, that money1) needs to stay in the public system 2) must have a locally ELECTED board to govern the system the money funds. It’s called taxation WITH representation!!

I dont even know how to respond to this. Is this an argument? Its gibberish. What if the people who share your values and who you vote for lose? They still get your money and you have no say.

How about just don’t take it in the first place and let me use it as I choose

Unless of course the goal IS to have government control over every student and school.

Im not sure who you are referring to or whose voucher plan you are talking about. Maybe "voucher" is a scary trigger word for you that initiates your Teachers Union pre-programmed talking points. In my hypothetical plan, there isnt government control of any schools who take vouchers.
