It's a good thing you said that "this issue separates the conservative POLITICIANS from the liberals in the clearest of ways." If you are talking about politicians only, I don't have a problem with your formulation. If you mean liberals in general, I do. Few people are consistently "conservative" or "liberal" all across the board. For example, I personally would classify myself as generally "liberal," but since I know very little about this hot-button issue (probably because I do not have children in school any more), I do not have a considered opinion on it. If I do look into it, I will try to inform myself (checking out the positions of all sides involved), and then make up my mind. Are voucher programs meant just for the poor & disadvantaged? I do recall one of my daughter-in-laws grumbling about a group of rich parents in her little town who had organized an effort to set up a charter school (a "free private school," as she scornfully characterized it) using the local school's money for that purpose. She felt it would really hurt the school, which my grandsons attend. Are we talking vouchers here, or is this something entirely different? Joan
