I'm curious. Do your children attend public schools? Are you happy with those schools? If vouchers were implemented in your area, would they make a difference to you? Do you wish to see money siphoned off from your local public schools and used for religious schools?

My children attend public schools. We have a great diversity of religions in those schools. I would hate to see anything that would lessen that diversity.

The problems with public schools in educating youngsters, seem to be in the urban poor inner cities. It seems to me there are many better ways to solve the education of those children, than by doing something that may jeopardize public schooling.

There is not much that holds this country together. We have great freedom, and this allows us to continually pull apart. But the public schools at least gives us a common base or reference point. Classroom textbooks for the whole state, for example, are approved at the state level assuring a certain consistency in what is taught. IT is true private schools can often do better educationally (by leaving out of the process the behaviorally challenged, the disabled, the student who is difficult to educate) but by allowing that, by in fact paying for it with taxpayer money, we may end up with a system that is more full of inequities than the system we have now.
