My point in posting the SCHOOL VOUCHER MUST READ is that ultra-right-wingers now are starting to have second thoughts about school vouchers. Here are a few more scenarios if the U.S. Supreme Court says yes in the Ohio case (and I expect they will on another 5-4 vote): -- Taxpayers could have to foot part of the bill for white supremacist schools, say, in northern Idaho. -- There would be nothing, to my knowledge, from stopping the Taliban from starting elementary schools in inner cities and recruiting impoverished children. Again, your tax dollars possibly could support such. That's the flip side of the free-speech coin, is it not? -- Once the government pipeline to private schools is in place, what happens if, for example, Hillary Clinton wins the presidency in '08 and her education czar tells all private schools receiving voucher money that certain classes must be taught in all private schools for the voucher money to continue? To reiterate: All supporters of school vouchers should be very careful of what they wish for. --
