@FreeRadicalWoman I’m confused as to whether the schools receive taxpayer money because families choose to spend their vouchers that way (in which case, there’s no greater case for government involvement than there would be for the government regulating what types of books welfare recipients may purchase with their cash assistance) or for some other reason. This is actually a good illustration of the reason I waffle between left and right. I want families to receive vouchers to pay tuition at any school of their choice, and yet, I don’t want the government to come in and say, “Well, it’s our money, really, so now, we’ll tell the schools what to do.” That doesn’t give students from poor families equal rights with students from wealthy ones; it just takes the problems of public schools and spreads them to the (semi-) private.

Also, I find it incredible that State Sen. Celsi apparently has no problem with taxpayer money going to schools that teach that God exists and that Jesus is the way to God (as these schools already did), but does have a problem with taxpayer money going to schools that teach the reality that sex is immutable. Isn’t this thinking entirely backwards?

Oh, and good for you being willing to save your grandkids from public schools. What a good grandmother you are; I often think that grandmothers are needed to save us from all this mess.
