Do your children attend public schools?

Yep.

Are you happy with those schools?

I am happy for the most part. I don't appreciate the political correctness and political indoctrination and have taken steps to correct that aspect. In NH, local control of schools is very tight. Parents/taxpayers have a very strong voice in curriculum, funding, etc.

If vouchers were implemented in your area, would they make a difference to you?

I would like to have the choice available.

Do you wish to see money siphoned off from your local public schools and used for religious schools?

Private schools are not necessarily "religious schools". and, moreover this is a straw argument not based in fact. When vouchers are exercised under all the proposals I've seen the voucher issued is usually less than the per pupil cost in that system. The schools actually get a subsidy because when they issue the voucher, they lose the student but retain a significant portion of the funding. This is an NEA bullshit argument. Typical demolib scare type tactic.

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.

I attended a parochial school for several years. We had enrolled as students blacks, hispanics, asians, etc. My parochial school was actually more integrated than the local public school in the lily white suburb I lived in.

You support abortion rights, n'est ce pas? So just think of this as another "choice" which ought not to be abridged to keep a bunch of deadbeat "educators" in chips....
