School choice need not be a religious issue. It is a free market versus monopoly issue, where the goal is to achieve better schools at a lesser cost with a greater range of curricula through increased competition. In other words, give consumers (the parents) what they want, instead of letting monopolists (school officials and unions) decide what everybody should get.

<< I think that the Republican Party should give the Religious Right what they deserve and that is school choice. >> I'll vote for that- -in fact I did. Proposition 38 on the CA ballot was for vouchers. Unfortunately, the educrats saw their jobs in jeopardy and mustered an all-out push to defeat it which worked. They also gutted Proposition 13 which required a 2/3 vote to pass bond issues. Now it's 55% for school bonds. But only school bonds got this exemption. Putting more money in public schools is throwing good money after bad. Let's give someone else a chance.
