There aren't alternatives to government roads or fire departments; there
*are* alternatives to government schools.
Still doesn't give you the right to take money intended for public schools
away.
Also there's no accountability how that public tax money is spent.... >>>>>>>
That's the point-- government schools are inferior to the private sector.
I was talking about the $7K or whatever amount it is they're doling out to
the private/homeschoolers, dweeb.

Like Fani Willis?
? Try to stay on topic, silly goose.
...instead of your kid's education for all anyone knows (and it probably
is).
Parent are still responsible for educating their kids.
Is that clear enough for you to understand, Jiminy Cricket?
Yup. You're a statist.
And you're a fascist with no concern for the greater society.
Not wanting the state to be in the business of owning and operating schools

Modern states typically give financial assistance to lower income families
for food, housing and medical care, but we don't force them to buy groceries
in government commissaries; don't force them to live in government barracks
and dormitories; and don't force them to obtain medical care from government
clinics. We give them vouchers or electronic benefit cards and let them buy
the things they want from the suppliers they choose. School instruction >>>>> should be no different.
This voucher program I'm talking about and SNAP benefits are like apples and
oranges, the latter doesn't take money away from a food assistance program >>>> already in existence.
There shouldn't be a public schools program in existence, any more than there
should be government barracks to provide housing to low-income people or >>> government commissaries where lower income people are forced to shop for >>> groceries. All public financing of schooling should be through vouchers. >>>
Aren't you pro-choice?

School vouchers are means tested.
Not in my state.
Yes, they are.
No they aren't.
Since you won't identify the state so it can be verified, we'll assume you're lying.
In the interim, I am simply wonderfully hungry for food right now
(Luke 6:21a) and hope you, Lou, and others reading this, also have a
healthy appetite for food right now too.
So how are you ?
