"Did you read what I posted" Of course I did. I copied and quoted your particular remark to which I was responding: "EVERY OBJECTION to vouchers already exists as a full-blown problem in the current system."" The fact is that the paramount objection to vouchers (violation of the establishment clause)is not already a "full-blown problem" in the current system. "Not once did I say the money would go only to religious schools" I do not know how this supposedly answers an imagined accusation against you. I don't recall accusing you of a plan to direct the entire flow of voucher money to religious schools. And I don't recall suggesting you had either the authority or the capacity to do so. Rather, the substantial opposition to vouchers is based on the certainty that virtually all voucher money will go to religious schools. It is not an accusation against you. "Are the Edison Schools religious?" Why is that relevant? Are there plans for the Edison schools to become private schools instead of public schools? Are they intending to switch to a voucher system?
